Dispute resolution
A dispute or concern regarding invoices and payment should be made to the Accounts Payables department who will be able to advise further. When an invoice dispute is received, it should if possible be resolved at point of contact with the Accounts Payable team. If this is not possible the query will be escalated to the business contact and a relevant senior finance contact if necessary. For contractual disputes, not related to payment date enquiries, suppliers should follow the procedure contractually agreed with the business contact who ordered the good or service provided.
Other information
Our processes and finance system does not enable capture of invoice receipt date, therefore the base date for the purposes of calculating the Payment Statistics is the invoice date. Invoice date will normally be earlier than invoice receipt date, consequently we recognise the Payment Statistics reported are adversely impacted by this. Our payment runs are monthly, taking place in the first week of a month. When calculating the Payment Statistics we have assumed our suppliers will receive cleared funds in their bank account four working days after the first working day of a month.

What a 39-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 39-day vs a 14-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
