If anyone has a payment card for HBC then its bad news for you if your card is either damaged,lost or in my case simply stops working because in their wisdom they have seen fit to discontinue the payment cards as a cost cutting exercise .
Most people who have these cards use them to budget or use them as they are unable to have a bank account amongst other reasons.
The alternative is that they will send you a bill with a barcode on and you will have to look after this scrap of paper as each week it gets more and more tatty until it no longer scans at which point HBC will be on you faster than lightening about your missed payment with threatening letters .Incidently these letters cost money to send out too and boy do they like to waste money sending letters out in a hurry
Anyway this scrap of paper has to be scanned at a post office so unless you live pretty close to one you may find yourself having a fair old trek each week to make your payments
What a bright idea, well thats if you class the 5w bulb over their heads as bright
