What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Community Health & Eyecare (CHEC) standard payment terms are 30day EOM. Any credits due to CHEC will be offset against the next available payment. Terms may vary in accordance with individual agreements made with suppliers
Dispute resolution
Community Health & Eyecare Ltd (CHEC) is committed to maintaining fair and timely relationships with its suppliers, ensuring that any disputes are resolved promptly and transparently. Suppliers will issue credit notes when required. While this may result in a technical late payment, resolution is agreed with the supplier and payment is made in the next available run. Disputes are managed by our Procurement and Accounts Payable teams, who work diligently to address and resolve any outstanding concerns.
Other information
CHEC operates a weekly payment run that includes all invoices due at the time of processing. However, some suppliers are on net payment terms, which means certain invoices may become due after the payment run has been executed but before the next scheduled run. These invoices are picked up in the subsequent payment cycle. This approach is verbally agreed with suppliers and, as such, these payments are not considered late.

What a 44-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 44-day vs a 7-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).
