Dispute resolution
Any complaints, concerns or disputes regarding payments should be directed to Accounts Payable, which is part of the Etex Business Services department. Accounts Payable will actively seek to resolve disputes through discussion with the supplier on a timely basis. If Accounts Payable have a query or dispute on an invoice, they will contact the supplier immediately. In the event that a response is not forthcoming, the dispute can be escalated to the relevant department raising the purchase order. Where it is not possible to reach an agreement, the dispute may be escalated to the Purchasing Department

What a 41-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 41-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
