I would suggest picking up the phone and talking to them. If they insist on a payment, try and do it by debit/pre-pay credit card so you can control what they take!

As long as you keep paying the amount you agree with them initially by a certain date, then i see no reason why you would have to pay through an account.
Onwards and Upwards is the way im going :-0)
From "Moneyworries" to "Movin On" in 3 months is fantastic :-))

I would recommend speaking to the council and arranging a repayment plan. Councils to not have to use the usual route through the courts to recover these arrears .... they just need to get a liability order from the court and can have a bailiff at your doorstep the same day!
