Your tenancy agreement is a legally binding
contract and requires you to pay your weekly rent. You may choose
to pay your rent monthly provided it is in advance along with any
other charges listed in your tenancy agreement such as the service
charge.
Listed below is the variety of ways rent can be paid.
Using your Swipecard (Payment Card)
At a Post Office or shop
Every
tenant is issued with a plastic payment card that links residents
to their properties. The payment card may be used at any Post
Office or shop displaying the Paypoint sign.
Existing residents who use Payzone or
e-pay can continue to do so until June
2009.
Online
In addition the payment
card may be used to pay online. The internet payment service is at
www.allpay.net and is available
24 hours a day, 365 days a year. To make a payment a debit card and
payment card are needed to quote the 19 digit reference number when
prompted.
By Telephone
To make a payment over the phone telephone
0870 770 0472. You will then be
prompted for your unique 19 digit payment card number and details
of your payment (debit card).
Bank Standing Order
If
you wish to pay by monthly standing order please contact your area
office who will send you a standing order form and indicate the
amount that needs to be paid every month.
Bank Direct Debit
At
the moment this facility is only available for the payment of
service charges by leaseholders. Residents using this service will
complete a direct debit mandate which allows the Association to
withdraw an agreed amount direct from their bank account at monthly
intervals.
Postal Cheques
Cheques
can be sent to Raglan's head office in Poole. Please do not send
your payment card with the cheque but state your name and address
on a separate piece of paper.
Credit Card
Payment by
credit card is not usually accepted but it may be considered in
certain circumstances and it must be agreed in advance by
the Association. Residents using this facility will incur a
payment surcharge. This charge is to cover the cost of the
transaction made by Allpay who provide the facility.
