What happens if I go into arrears?
How can I check my rent account?
The quickest and easiest way to check your rent account is online. Sign up or sign in to get started.
Alternatively, you can ask for your latest rent statement by calling us on 0300 555 6666 (Monday-Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 8am-1pm) or emailing enquiries@whgrp.co.uk (we usually respond within five working days).
How do I make a payment?
Pay online
The quickest, easiest and safest way to check your rent account and make payments is online. Sign up or sign in to get started.
Direct debit
Easy and convenient, direct debit payments can be made weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or every calendar month on a day of your choice.
Paying by direct debit means your rent is always paid on time and any changes are managed without the hassle of you having to visit your bank. The direct debit guarantee keeps payments secure and protects you in the rare event there is a mistake.
To set up a direct debit you need a bank, building society or credit union account. (If you do not have an account, our Money and bills team can help you set one up.)
Simply contact us to let us know you’d like to start paying by direct debit. It will then take up to 10 working days for us to take the first payment.
We can also set up a direct debit for you over the phone. Just call 0300 555 666 (Monday-Friday 8am-6pm).
We will then send you a rent statement every 13 weeks, but you can contact us to get a copy any other time.
