FIT payments. Change bank details!

anotherbob

I just switched current bank accounts and my new bank tells me that payments to my account will be redirected for 36 months and that I should inform anyone sending regular payments. That went smoothly until I informed Scottish Power who make my Feed In Tariff payments. They sent me a load of PDF forms and when i told them I only wanted to change bank details they informed me as follows (apologies for the lengthy quote)

Please note, in order to proceed the change of your bank details we have follow our procedure which consist of the previously mentioned documentation (Bank Statement, Bank Amendment form and Vendor form).

 Find helpful following instructions to speed up the process. The forms should have the following information:

 Bank Amendment form

 Section - Generator details:

 • The Generator name must be completed.

• The Generator contact details should be completed.

• The installation address must be completed.

• The security information must be populated. (data protection)

 Section - Generation and Export payment

 • Export Payment : You must tick either OPT IN or OPT OUT and sign below along with date of signature.

 Section - Payment details:

 • The bank account details for payment are required. (xxxx)

• The payee name and address are required. (payee name and payee address must be the same as the information populated in the vendor form)

 Section - Multiple installation: (It must be signed by the new generator and by the nominated recipient)

• If you have PV panels, you must tick either A or B and sign below.

 Section - Generator Declaration:

• This section must be signed and dated by the Generator.

 Vendor form is required to issue payments to an account and is something that our Financial Team requires to validate the information is correct before they will send payment.

 The supplier's form must contain the following information: 

 • Contact person: Generator name

Apart from not being entirely clear about the instructions, i don't have the means to edit PDF forms and they have said that they would like the forms returned using the same email thread.

I'm almost inclined to ignore all this and see what happens when I send in my next FIT reading.
