Dispute Resolution Process

Where possible, Capital One will aim to resolve disputes by the supplier making an adjustment on a future invoice, or providing a credit note, so that the original invoice may be paid on time. If this is not possible, the invoice under dispute, will be rejected back to the supplier and no payment is issued. Once the dispute is resolved, the invoice will be re-submitted for payment in line with payment terms.
