Need to Pay Bills When Away?

Problem
You need to pay bills when you are away.

Answers
Make a yearly list of big bills such as income tax, council tax, flat maintenance (school fees, uni fees, mortgage etc).

Redirect post (mail) with bills to a family member. Or give a door key to a family member, if they are reliable.

A standing order can be set up to pay a regular amount.

However if the amount varies, you need something else called a direct debit which allows the payee to specify how much you owe them.

Ideally have an online banking account so you can pay bills. You need a record of your pin number, disguised.
