DIRECT DEBIT

The easy way to pay your Council Tax with a chance to win money back
 
If you have a Bank or Building Society account, Direct Debit is a simple, safe and speedy way to pay your Council Tax. Just think - no cheques to write, no queues, no postage costs.  And it's cheaper for the Council to deal with, which reduces costs for everyone.  Why not join the 31,000 Council Taxpayers in Crewe and Nantwich who already pay this way?
 
We will let you know the dates and amounts to be collected at least 10 working days before the first or any amended payment is requested from your bank.  Payments will be collected each month.
 
When can I pay?
You can choose to pay on either the 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd of the month. 
 
Will the payment always be collected on the same day every month? 
Normally payments will be collected on the same day.  If the 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd falls at the weekend or on a Bank Holiday, we will request payment on the first working day after. 
 
What if I want to cancel a Direct Debit? 
Write to your bank before the next payment is due.  Please also send a copy of
your letter to:
The Council Tax Section, Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council, Delamere House, Delamere Street, Crewe CW1 2BJ 
 
How do I get back any money paid in error? 
You should contact your Bank or Building Society who are responsible for giving an immediate refund - even if the error is ours. 
 
What if I move house? 
If you move within the Crewe and Nantwich Borough area, let us know and we can transfer your direct debit details to your new address.  We will notify you of your new payments at least 10 working days before the payment is due. 
 
What information do I need to set up a Direct Debit? 
The name and address of your Bank or Building Society.
The name(s) of the account holders.
The branch sort code (see your cheque book).
Your Bank or Building Society account number.
