Dispute resolution
In case of any invoice disputes, the relevant department within the company availing the services is informed by email. The relevant department would then inform the vendor via email/phone of the nature of dispute and get it resolved. In case of disputes relating to services, the relevant department before approving the costs would inform the Vendor over an email. In case the invoice is considered to be correct, the same is internally approved and paid. For minor invoice errors, the Finance department may send an email directly to the relevant finance contact on Vendor side.

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).
