Ease the stress of moving home

They say that moving house is one of life's most stressful experiences.

If you are on the move, don't panic too much because our checklist can save you time, trouble and maybe some money into the bargain!

Moving also means setting up or amending your household accounts. And it's a golden opportunity to change for the better by shifting payments on to Direct Debit.

How to change to Direct Debit
Changing to Direct Debit is easy. Many bills already carry a form you can complete, or you can ask the supplier to send you one. If you are amending your details through telephone helpdesks or via the internet, don't forget to ask about changing your payment option. Many service providers can do this while you are on the phone or online to them.
