Alternatively, you will be given an Allpay card, which allows you to pay your rent/ licence charge in the following ways: 
At a Post Office or an outlet displaying the PayPoint symbol – Take your allpay Card, together with your payment. After your payment is processed, your card will be returned to you with a printed receipt to confirm the payment. 

Register online. Once registered, you can pay by sending a text message stating the amount you would like to pay. 

Phone 0844 557 8321 and follow the automated phone system to make a payment.
