Why Pay by Direct Debit?

Here are some of the benefits of making payments to Simpkins Edwards by direct debit:

Peace of Mind

Once you have direct debit set up, payments are processed automatically, saving you precious time and head space. You’ll be kept in the loop with reminders approximately 3 days before all payments are processed; just make sure you have adequate funds in your account when you get the reminder. If you need to delay or come to an alternative payment arrangement, get in touch with the team at Simpkins Edwards as soon as you receive the reminder.

Direct Debit Guarantee

Your payments are protected. This means that you’re guaranteed a refund direct to your account if a payment is ever processed in error.

Ability to Cancel Any Time

You can cancel your direct debit authorisation at any time. To cancel, simply get in touch with the admin team at Simpkins Edwards by emailing [email protected].

If you have any questions, you can call us on 01392 211233 or email the team here.

Direct Debit Guarantee

Organisations using the Direct Debit Scheme go through a careful vetting process before they're authorised, and are closely monitored by the banking industry. The efficiency and security of Direct Debit is monitored and protected by your own bank or building society.

The Direct Debit Guarantee applies to all Direct Debits. It protects you in the rare event that there is an error in the payment of your Direct Debit.

Direct Debit Guarantee

• The Guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay Direct Debits

• If there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit the organisation will notify you (normally 10 working days) in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed. If you request the organisation to collect a payment, confirmation of the amount and date will be given to you at the time of the request

• If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit, by the organisation or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society

• If you receive a refund you are not entitled to, you must pay it back when the organisation asks you to

• You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by simply contacting your bank or building society. Written confirmation may be required. Please also notify the organisation.
