What happens if I miss a direct debit?

Our service plan administrator Emac, will contact you to understand why the payment has been missed and help you to set this back up. It may mean you pay a slightly higher month amount because you will be paying over a shorter period, but the total plan cost won’t change.

My service is due in two months, can I set up a service plan?
