Dec 09 weekly direct debit winnersLucky customers win star prize in the weekly direct debit draw

Two lucky mhs homes customers won a New Year’s Eve experience they wouldn’t forget, after signing up to pay their rent by weekly Direct Debit.

Angela and Graham Kirby from Jenkins Dale in Chatham were stunned to hear that they had won a short break to Paris for two, including a trip to Euro Disney to see the New Year in, in style. They were presented with their prize by Minnie Mouse after their names were picked from a free prize draw held by mhs homes as part of an initiative to help customers pay their rent more easily.

Angela Kirby said, "We were over the moon to hear we had won. We actually wanted to go to Paris for our honeymoon but ended up going to the Norfolk Broads so this trip is extra special. We haven’t been on holiday just the two of us for three years because we’ve had our children, Freya (3) and George (10 months). We had to get a passport and a babysitter sorted but now we can really enjoy ourselves."

mhs homes customers that signed up to pay their rent by weekly direct debit were entered into a monthly draw to win prizes such as theatre tickets, family days out and runner up prizes. Patricia Hewett, mhs homes Housing Manager said, "We set up the weekly direct debit to provide another method of payment for our customers to use. A lot of our tenants get paid weekly so this suits their needs and helps them to manage their payments.

Graham Kirby said, "We set up our weekly direct debit straight away, after seeing it advertised in mhs news. It’s so easy to do and is far less hassle for us. We don’t have to worry that we might forget a payment as it’s all sorted. Winning this prize is a real bonus."
