Direct Debit is now available
OUR new ‘paperless’ Direct Debit system is now up and running. Direct Debit is an easier and quicker way to pay rent. It means you can pay rent on any day of the month that suits you. Gordon Wilkes, a tenant of GHA’s sister organisation
Loretto, from Springburn, said: “I pay by Direct Debit on the first day of the month. “The money comes out of
your bank and you don’t have to think about it – it gets paid. “It’s much more
convenient.” Talk to your housing officer about signing up.
