Council tax payment by CC

[Nigello]

Hello - has anyone paid council charge by a credit card? If so, what's the sort code and account number for Southwark payments, and/or a phone line that you can actually get through on. Ta

According to the back of my bill the sort code is 62-24-00, and the account number is 96828803.

I pay mine using a credit card via the Southwark website...https://ip.e-paycapita.com/AIP/dataEntry.do?link=showDataEntryPage&requestId=lo41tiima0c0fhhe1cagjmroyk3bop0

Have also paid using the automated phone on 0345 600 0611...

Thanks - if you were paying with DD, do you then just cancel the DD and inform Southwark, or just cancel and move on?!

just go on line www.southwark.gov.uk/counciltax

You can also print out a receipt very easy

[Nigello]

Yes, ta - it?s just that I start the DD on 01/04 and don?t want to pay by card then get debited. You know how sloppy some big organisations can be, especially ones you can?t actually speak to.

If you cancel the DD with your bank then Southwark won't be able to draw down the money so you won't be paying twice. If you have an online account on the Southwark website then, if you pay monthly, you'll be able to see a schedule of due payments, plus as the year progresses what payments you've made. There is also an option to 'make a payment' which is the option you need to pay by CC. You won't need Southwarks bank details but you will need your Southwark Council Tax account number. It's all a lot easier than it sounds! BTW on my schedule of payments it shows the due date as the 15th of the month not the 1st.
