Ways to pay your invoice

This page describes how to pay invoices such as for services charges, shop rents, licences or shared ownership payments.

1 By Direct Debit

This is the most efficient and convenient way to pay your account - no cheques to write, no cash to handle, no postage or queuing.

Payments are collected from your Bank of Building Society account on or just after the first of the month.

You are free to cancel at any time and we will let you know at least 14 days in advance of any changes, giving you total control over the amounts collected.

Your interests are fully protected by the Direct Debit guarantee. You are guaranteed an immediate refund in the unlikely event of an error.

Banks and Building Societies may not accept Direct Debit instructions from some types of account. If in doubt, please contact your Bank or Building Society.

Contact the Income Management team on 01245 613014 for more information or download a direct debit form and return it to CHP.

2 Using this web site

You can make payments using the BillPay web site. Please have your debit or credit card details and your 7 character account number beginning with D (shown on your invoice) ready. The BillPay web site will guide through the process. If you have any problems, contact CHP's Income Management team on 01245 613017.
