    For the second month running NPower have paid me my quarterly read in 5 working days. Received email confirmation immediately after submitting and a PDF statement the next day.

    Good service.

    I read meter after dusk on 30th September (I guess that's about same time as KevinG did ?) but received notification today (though I see it hit bank account yesterday : 20 days)

    Hi

    Submitted after dusk 30/09 and was paid on the same day as KevinG .... did need to query that the reading had been registered because no confirmation e-mail had been rec'd ... was told that the confirmation mail system hadn't been working ... (Aren't large corporates really lax when it comes to correcting issues properly !!)

    Yes, mine was submitted after dusk on 30/09 as well and I also didn't get a confirmation email. Odd that readings submitted at the same time get paid a week apart. I submitted two readings (two different FiT references) at the same time and both were paid (in a single payment) after 13 days.

    British Gas still doing well.

    Submitted on Saturday and cheque in post and then in bank the following Sat. 7 calendar days seems pretty goodfor a posted cheque driven process.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
