Your guarantee with Direct Debit
If you choose to pay by Direct Debit, all your payments are covered by this guarantee. This guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay Direct Debits. The efficiency and security of the scheme is monitored and protected by your own bank or building society.
If there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit, Solihull Community Housing will notify you (normally 10 working days) in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed. If you request Solihull Community Housing to collect a payment, confirmation of the amount and date will be given you at the time of request.
If an error is made by Solihull Community Housing, or your bank or building society in the payment of your Direct Debit, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society. If you receive a refund that you are not entitled to, you must pay it back if Solihull Community Housing asks you to.
You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by simply contacting your bank or building society.
