Dear Colleagues
Warbreck
Direct Debit Switch Day
19th November 2014
19th November 2014
Members will have seen the details about the threat
to PCS in terms of the employer
withdrawing “check off” (payment of subscriptions from wages) and the reasons
why we are asking members to switch to direct debit.
We have arranged various venues at Warbreck on
Wednesday 19th November 2014, to help members make the switch.
It would be beneficial if members had their
National Insurance Number/ or PCS Membership Number, Bank account and Sort Code
details with them in order to switch to DD on 19th November 2014. It
will take a matter of seconds to switch to Direct Debit if you have these
details to hand.
The venues and times are as follows:
Free Prize Draw
Remember that there are still two free prize draws of £25 vouchers for members who had signed up to Direct Debit and
whose records were held by PCS HQ.
The prizes are being funded by donations, the funds
and are not coming from PCS
subscriptions. Branch Executive Committee members are not allowed to win. If one
were to be drawn out then there would be a re-draw. Each month PCS HQ will
provide the Branch with a list of members who have supplied the required
details and we will use this list for the draw.
What will happen once I
sign up to DD?
PCS HQ will upload your direct
debit details onto the PCS
computer system alongside all of the other details we already hold for you. But
your direct debit won’t be activated until the removal of ‘check off’ is
notified to us by the DWP or PCS
nationally decides. You will not have two deductions in one month; PCS will ensure all payments are correct. You will
be told when DD will begin.
PCS will keep your details
safe and secure
PCS already holds a lot of
personal details about you as part of your membership records. We keep all
personal data completely secure and confidential. PCS
has signed up to the legally binding Direct Debit Guarantee scheme to give you
data protection financial security. It is no different from any other Direct
Debit you have for insurance, gas or electric.
Is it easy to do?
