Standard Terms and Conditions:

• Your payment will normally reach the Council's bank account within three working days.  We cannot accept liability for delayed payments.
   
• We cannot accept liability for payments being recorded on the wrong account if you supply inaccurate information but we will make every effort to reallocate any such payments once we are made aware of them.
   
• We cannot accept liability if payment is refused or declined by your debit/credit card supplier for any reason.
   
• If your card supplier declines payment, the Council is under no obligation to bring this to your attention.  You should check with your bank/debit/credit card supplier whether payment has been deducted from your account.
