Paying by Direct Debit
Direct Debit is the easiest way to pay. You can pay the whole fee in October or in four quarterly instalments.
Setting it up
Go to My account > Payments and choose Set up Direct Debit. You'll need your bank sort code and account number.
Changing or cancelling
Changes made before 15 September apply to the coming year. If you cancel mid-year, the remaining instalments are still due.
