Dispute Resolution Process

Nisbets Limited have a dedicated Purchase Ledger team with specific accounts allocated to individuals in that team, allowing suppliers a direct, named, point of contact. In the event of disputed charges, our policy is to investigate the invoice in question, such as inspecting Goods Received Notes depending on its nature, and communicate directly with the supplier to ensure timely resolution. Dependent on the specific contract terms, we would potentially withhold payment on the disputed portion of the invoice, or raise a debit note for those items until the query is resolved.
