Parents who have set up and use a direct debit manually or automatically will receive the following emails to inform them about the progress of their DD payment. This is purely an overview, so you know exactly what parents or bill-payers receive.
The day before a DD run:
Dear [bill-payer's name],
You have set up automatic payments for your account with [child's setting], and the next payment will be made on [date].
Any outstanding debt will automatically be paid using [your payment method].
If you do not wish to be charged, please go to your balance and remove the automatic payment method before [date].
If you have no due payments, you can ignore this e-mail.
Kind regards,
[the setting]
On the day of the DD run:
Dear [bill-payer's name]
