How do I pay my home broadband or TV bill by Direct Debit?

Direct Debit is the easiest and most convenient way to pay your bill.

To set up a Direct Debit:

  1. log in to My EE

  2. select My EE Broadband

  3. go to My Payments > Change payment details

  4. follow the steps to change or update your payment details

When you're setting up a Direct Debit there are a few things to know:

  1.  

    if you have an outstanding balance, you’ll need to pay this by debit or credit card before we can start using your new Direct Debit details
  2.  

    once set up, this is the account we’ll use for future payments
  3.  

    we’ll automatically take payment from the bank account you set up for your Direct Debit around 10 working days after your bill date

If the first attempt to take your Direct Debit fails, we'll retry within seven days. After our second attempt, you'll incur a failed payment fee of £2. You'll then need to:

  1. make a one-off payment to clear your balance

  2. check your payment details are correct in time for your next bill

You can do both by logging in to My EE.

  2.  

    or call 07953 966 250 from any phone

If you can’t pay your bill and you haven’t already talked to us about it, we’ll try and contact you by phone and mail. During this time, we’ll also have to suspend your service until you clear any outstanding balance. If this happens, we may also:

  1.  

    add a termination fee to your account in line with your contract terms
  2.  

    pass on your details to a debt collection agency who may add their own charges and fees to recover the outstanding debt
  3.  

    notify credit reference agencies that you’ve missed payments - this information can be used by other lenders and could affect your credit rating and your ability to gain future credit
