Dispute resolution process
As most of the invoices are paid by direct debit there would be no dispute which would hold up the payment, any disputed amount would be credited or debited the following month. The rest of the invoices may occasionally be subject to a dispute which is usually resolved over a phone call due to the long-standing relationships.
