Did you try paying with a debit or credit card?
It will be helpful if you ring your card provider/bank and inform of a forth coming payment from HO and the amount so they will approve.

I found Banker's draft is the safest option to pay for HO fees which could incur £10 extra charges though but at least you have the peace of mind. If there is still any issue with the payments then perhaps you can try this!
