Check out XmlSerializerNamespaces.

XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
ns.Add("xsd", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
ns.Add("xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");

Controlling the default namespace can be done directly on the XmlSerializer:

XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Person), "http://tempuri.org/PaymentInformationXml.xsd");

... but your question is a little unclear about where the problem comes from.

Check your Person classes [XmlType] attribute:

[XmlType(Namespace="http://tempuri.org/PaymentInformationXml.xsd")]
public class Person
{
    //...
}

The namespace for your Person type needs to be consistent with the one you use when serializing.
