What to expect when changing your Direct Debit

Direct Debits normally take at least two weeks to update. This means your payment date may stay the same the month you request a change. Your new payment date will start the following month or even the month after. We only collect payments between the 1 and 28 of the month.

If you are changing the account your Direct Debit comes from this can also take up to two weeks to change.

We'll send you a letter within five working days to confirm when your changes will take place.

Note:

Depending on when you request your new payment date to start could mean you'll need to make two payments close together.
