This is the easiest and most convenient way to pay your bill. Your bank account will be debited 14 days after your bill issue date for the total amount due on your bill. Payment will be taken for your bill every 2 months by Direct Debit. If you're an existing customer on Level Pay and sign up to a Green and/or Smart plan your level pay will stop. Any balance due will be taken with your next Direct Debit. Any credit will also be taken into account.
