Ways of paying your legal aid debt
You can make repayments in different ways, including:
Call 0800 600 090 and pay by credit card. We accept Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard and Prezzy Card. There are no additional transaction fees for the payment. The information we will need from you when paying using credit card is:
your name and account number
name of the person on the credit card
the credit card number
the expiry date
the card verification number
the amount you'd like to pay
automatic payments made weekly, fortnightly or monthly
as a lump sum, either out of your savings or when you sell your house or other property
payment from any money or property that you keep or get from your court case (civil and family cases)
a deduction notice (money gets repaid automatically from your employer, out of your benefit, or straight from your bank account).
Interest will start to be charged on your debt six months after your case has been finalised. If you pay off the debt within six months, interest will not apply.
