Yes, dealt with directly with the club and no 3rd party involved.
It is one of the three options available when renewing, with no advance payment as such. The 1st DD of 10 leaves on 1st August.
I have taken the V12 option previously because it was interest free, however, it still meant committing to a credit agreement, which isn’t for everyone.
I think I read somewhere that the club may have had to pick up the tab for some of V12 costs (but I could be mistaken)
The risk for the club is of course a drop off if the season turns sour because you can just cancel your DD. The plus though is that it is auto renewal, meaning no need to go through the process annually, which is a great passive way of retaining season ticket holders.
I think it’s a great option.
