Dispute resolution
In the event that a vendor contacts us regarding late payment of an invoice, the AP team will establish the reason for the late payment, and chase up the relevant originator of the Purchase Order, prompting them to action any outstanding issues already highlighted e.g., PO needs renewing/increasing, goods need booking in, a price difference outside tolerance needs resolving. If any dispute needs raising with the vendor over any of these issues, it is the responsibility of the originator to raise such dispute, and/or request any proof of delivery, if required. However, the AP team will intervene and deal with the vendor direct in order to attempt to resolve persistently outstanding issues if it becomes necessary.

What a 52-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 52-day vs a 31-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 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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
