Important: if you cancel your Direct Debit payment within 3 working days of your payment due date, your changes won’t apply until the following statement is produced and we’ll claim the payment as normal.
If you cancel your Direct Debit, you’ll still need to make at least the minimum payment on your account using another payment method – check out our payments page for more options.

You can't change the payment due date on your current statement, but you can change future dates up to 2 times in any 12 month period.

If you make a payment before your next statement arrives, it won't count towards your next minimum payment.
If you’ve got a Direct Debit in place, we’ll still claim it when your next payment is due, unless you cancel your Direct Debit giving at least 3 working days’ notice. Of course if you do that, you’ll still need to make that month’s minimum payment using another method.
If you make payments using another method, you’ll need to remember to make an additional payment covering at least the minimum payment before your next payment due date (as detailed on your statement).
You can find all the details you need in our payments guide.
