Pay by Direct Debit
Direct Debit is the most convenient way to pay your rent because it comes straight out of your bank account. It is quicker and easier than paying by standing order.
A Direct Debit instructs your Bank or Building Society to make regular payments from your account to Orwell, so you do not have to remember when your rent is due or change the amount to be paid. It is easy to set up and gives you peace of mind, knowing that your rent has been paid each month.
If you are interested in paying your charges by Direct Debit, you can download a help leaflet and mandate form below. Please return any completed Direct Debit mandate to Orwell. Our contact details can be found here.
Alternatively contact your Housing Officer or Service Manager for further information.

At Lloyds Bank
If you have a paying-in book, you can pay rent at any branch of Lloyds Bank.
Please be aware that this is the slowest method of making payments to us. Payments can take up to 5 working days to reach us, therefore you need to make any payments in good time before your rent is due.
When using your paying-in book at the bank, please do not use a deposit envelope to make your payment as we do not receive all of the information we require which may cause your payment to be delayed. Please pay it in over the counter to one of the cashiers so they can make sure all of the necessary information is taken and passed to us. Always quote your name, the address you are making the payment for and the payment reference if possible.To request a paying-in book, e-mail info@orwell-housing.co.uk with your name and the first line of your address. Use the subject 'paying-in book'.
You can also request a paying-in book from the Customer Services Team at Orwell by calling 0345 60 100 30.
