Dispute resolution
Invoices should be emailed to [email protected]. We utilise a document scanning system which can only read a single .pdf invoice in each file. Although multiple .pdf invoice files per email are acceptable, the inclusion of any other document or file type will cause a delay in the invoice being processed. Invoices must include a job reference, purchase order number or be clearly marked with the DSV contact name to ensure invoices can be processed promptly. All queries are handled through our International Shared Service Centre who can be contacted via email at [email protected] or by telephone on +48 22 244 78 35. Statements, payment queries and copy invoices should be sent that email address. This will generate a reference to be quoted in future communication regarding each q

Variations to the standard payment terms can only be approved by a director.

What a 30-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 30-day vs a 7-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.

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).
