Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Payment terms are agreed with suppliers as part of contract negotiations. Our standard terms are between 30 and 90 days from the receipt of a valid invoice or the receipt of a valid application for payment. On receipt of a valid invoice these invoices are included in a weekly payment run as they fall due.

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

No information available

Any other information about payment terms

Our suppliers are paid via a weekly payment run which is pulled to cover the week in advance, thus ensuring suppliers should not be paid late.

Dispute Resolution Process

At Virgin Media Limited our aim is to resolve invoice queries or disputes in a timely manner and ensure payments are made at the earliest opportunity. If you have a query regarding the payment date or an invoice dispute then the best way to contact us is to raise a query on our Purchase to Pay (P2P) Query Tool https://vm-supplier.custhelp.com. The P2P Team will be able to resolve most queries and can liaise with our internal business contacts on your behalf. More complex disputes may need the business contacts to provide feedback directly. Upon resolution of any disputes or queries if the invoice has become due it will be settled on the next payment run.
