We will use the Bank Account details we hold for the farm business to make your payment. If you haven’t provided your bank details yet, please make sure to do so in order that we can issue your payment. If your bank details change you must inform us immediately. We will not make a payment to any bank account except the bank account which we hold for the business.
If we determine that following payment, actions and/or supporting items were not completed and/or not compliant with both the terms and conditions and scheme specifications for each action, payment may be withheld or over declaration penalties may apply and we may recover monies already paid. This could include reducing future payments from us for this scheme or other schemes that you are eligible for. We also reserve the right to recover any other over-payments or debts (including Enforcement of Judgements Office debts) from your payments.
