Debit Card Payments

Hi,
Would be really grateful if someone could give me some advise. I apologise if l have posted this in the wrong place, if l have could someone point me in the right direction please.
I have finally managed to sort out a debt with Moorcroft debt Collection Agency. I had a letter from them today saying my proposed payments had been accepted starting from the 1st of August and a paying in book will be forwarded to me. At the earliest the paying in book will arrive tomorrow, but that will only give me three days untill the lst August and l don't think they will recieve it in time. They do have a payment page on their website that allows you to pay by debit card. Could anyone tell me if Moorcroft would then be able to take money from my debit card whenever they felt like it. I really want the payment to get there on time, as it took me a long time and a lot of worry to sort it out with them. Hope someone can advise me on this.

  • DO NOT USE YOUR DEBIT CARD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

    Wait for the paying in book and use that.

    With the paying in book - Pay this over counter in your Bank as the Post Office charges £2.60 for every payment made
