paying by direct debit
return to paying your rent page
If you have a bank or building society account Direct Debit is an easy and convenient way to pay your rent as it enables it to be paid by one monthly payment.
We would encourage you to pay your rent this way as it saves you the time and trouble of writing and sending a cheque, or paying by cash. It also allows you to budget by paying over 12 equal monthly instalments.
Other benefits include;
- The peace of mind of knowing your rent is being paid automatically and your payment will not be missed.
- It makes your cash flow easier as you know when money is going in and out of your account.
- No queuing at housing offices.
- No requirement to be at home for rent collection.
- No further paperwork to complete once the agreement is set-up.
- No postage to pay.
- Normally no bank charges providing the account is in credit.
- It is guaranteed by three main safeguards: immediate money back guarantee from the bank or building society if an error is made, Shoreline must give advance notice of any change to the date and amount, and you have the right to cancel the agreement at any time.
All your normal charges can be paid this way, rent (including water and heating charges), garage rent and insurance, and they will be taken out of your account by one simple payment on the 15th of each month or the nearest working day.
If you are interested in paying by Direct Debit you can either download a form now from our Forms page or ring 0845 849 2000 option 2 to request a form. A form will be posted out to you together with a pre-paid envelope to return it. When you've filled it in, pop it in the post and Shoreline will create this agreement with your bank or building society. We will then write to you confirming your monthly payment. We will also notify you if there are any future changes to this amount, for example any annual rent increase. The form must be returned by the 28th of the month, for it to be processed in time for the 15th of the following month.
If you require any further information on this please contact the Rental team on 0845 849 2000 option 2.
