If you send one payment to be allocated between multiple accounts, ensure you email a remittance advice to: [email protected].

You must quote the account number shown on the bill when making payment. If you do not, we cannot be held responsible for payments not allocated to your account.

Non-payment

If you fail to pay any instalment on or before the due date, recovery action may be taken against you. This could mean additional costs being added to your account. A reminder notice may be issued at any time if an instalment has not been received by the due date.

Only one reminder notice will be issued in any one year. If a second instalment is not paid at the due date, the full outstanding balance of the account, (not just the outstanding instalments up to that date) will become payable. Legal proceedings may then be started to recover the full outstanding balance. You may incur additional costs.

Payment difficulties

If you have any difficulties paying your bill, contact us as soon as possible. If you wait until legal proceedings have begun, you may have to pay further costs.
