Charnwood Borough Council

Paying by Direct Debit is simple. Here are a few reasons why:

• No waiting in queues; You can forget about cheques, envelopes and stamps; It's a lot safer than cash; No reminders or Summonses.

Direct debits are also one of the safest payment methods around as:

• You keep control; There's a money back guarantee; We have to give you at least 10 days advance notice of any changes; You are free to cancel at any time.

Paying by direct debit also makes it cheaper and simpler for the Council to administer, which benefits everyone in Charnwood.
