That is a very startling dilemma but still should be manageable by speaking/emailing back to the centre, well in advance to avoid any inconvenience.

Most often the uk sponsor simply transfer the money to applicant to pay at centre. However, you can send the picture of your debit card along with a signed letter explaining the situation.
