The majority of our suppliers are either on net 30 days or lower.

Any other information about payment terms

The percentage of invoices not paid within agreed terms (27%) is higher than it actually is in reality as we lower the payment terms in our accounting system for some of our suppliers in order to pay them relatively quickly.

Dispute resolution process

The main point of contact for disputes is Loans At Home's Accounts Payable department in Leeds. When an invoice is disputed, the supplier will be contacted indicating the invoice number and reason for rejection. To resolve a dispute, the supplier is required to provide any missing information or a corrected invoice. The email address for supplier queries is invoices@loansathome.co.uk
