What happens if a member changes bank accounts during the 12 Month DD Period?
Members must contact the membership/finance team if they need to ammend any Direct Debit details. Failure to do so will result in missed payments and follow up action.
Does a user cancelling their Direct Debit instruction cancel their Membership?
No. Cancelling a Direct Debit does not automatically cancel the corresponding membership. Members are still committed to the full 12-month term agreed to when signing up.
Does a user ammending their Direct Debit amount automatically update their membership type?
No, ammendments to membership types will still follow the current Transfer & Upgrade process
Ammendments to direct debits without notice will be followed up
Will a membership stop automatically if the monthly Direct Debit fails?
No, if we are notified of a failed DD the membership team will reach out to the customer to discuss options. This could include adjusting future payments or paying membership in full through a one-off card payment.
Can a membership be cancelled mid way through the agreed 12 Month Period?
No, by signing up to a Monthly Direct Debit, members are committing to a 12 Month membership. Cancelling the direct debit does not cancel this agreement.
At what point is the Membership active, when paid with Direct Debit?
Membership is active/pending approval (if required) at the point of confirming and setting up the direct debit instruction, even if the first payment is not scheduled until the following month.
Will Memberships on a Direct Debit automatically renew?
Currently, memberships paid for on a Direct Debit will not automatically renew after 12 Months. Membership can be renewed in the same way as a annual payment in the 3 month period before expiry.
What Direct Debit payment plan do we offer?
Initially, membership payments can be set up on a 12-month Direct Debit. This splits the annual payment into 12 monthly instalments. A 3% admin uplift is applied to the first payment.
