payment of fees

Hi, are there any other ways of paying the LR £45 fee?
I no longer have a cheque book - can I pay over the phone, bank transfer or in person anywhere in County Durham?  
I have seen there are old threads for this question but they go back 9 months or more, so wondered if there has been an updated way of paying. 

thank you
