Ways of paying your legal aid debt
You can make repayments in different ways, including:
Over the phone by calling 0800 600 090 (free from NZ mobile or landline) to pay by credit card. We accept Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard and Prezzy Card. There are no additional transaction fees for the payment.
Automatic payments made weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
As a lump sum, either out of your savings or when you sell your house or other property.
Payment from any money or property that you keep or get from your court case (civil and family cases).
A deduction notice (money gets repaid automatically from your employer, out of your benefit, or straight from your bank account).
