Payment terms

Standard payment period for qualifying contracts

30 days

Standard payment terms

Payment terms are net 30 days unless otherwise agreed between Loans At Home and the seller.
The % of invoices not paid within agreed terms (31%) is in reality a much lower number due to supplier payment terms lowered in the system to ensure that they are paid promptly.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

No

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

30 days

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 (31%) 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
