NHS prescription prepayment certificate - DD payments not taken
easy
Posts: 2,533 Forumite
Hi,
Hubby and I both have prepayment certificates, and I've just noticed that the direct debits haven't been taken for Sept and Oct from either of our accounts - usually goes out around the 14th.
Can anyone else confirm whether this is happening with them too?

I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.

Why not phone the number on the card and find out what's happening? Or this number, 0300 330 1341.
They'll be able to tell you straight away what's happening.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.

We don't have a card...? My husband's renewal just came as a letter (which he's filed "somewhere" after showing it to the pharmacist), and mine was just an email confirmation after I had applied (nov last year)MalMonroe said:Why not phone the number on the card and find out what's happening?

I just thought if this was happening to more than just us I would wait, as it's obviously a system problem.
Thanks for giving me the number.I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.0 -
Is it the yearly card?
If so the amount is taken in 10 monthly payments, for no money to be taken in September & October is correct for a November renewal.

Well flipping heck, I didn't realise/remember it was taken in 10 payments not 12. And it's a coincidence that DH's runs the same months as mine (I can't remember when he first signed up). Thanks KxMxKxMx said:Is it the yearly card?

Now, As I will be 60 in the middle of November, do I have to cancel it, or will they just not renew?I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.0 -

Before mine was due to renew before I was 60, I had a letter to say that autorenewal wouldn't happen because I would be 60 within that year. I was given the choice of renewing for the full year, which I did as I was still getting 11 months out of it., or I could make my own arrangements.
