Can an invoice be retracted?

prowla

Normally invoices include the term "E&OE", meaning "Errors and Omissions Excepted" - did the original say that?

How long was the original invoice outstanding before you were offered a 50% discount?

Sounds like you are now taking the pith, you complained and were offered a 50% discount and still didn't pay, I'm not surprised the service provider is not happy.

How would you feel if your employer decided not to pay you on time,but kept you waiting for a month for your money

we don't know the full circumstances so that sort of example isn't at all helpful.

I agree...but while we only have "one side" of the story...and partial information at best, who's to say the other side (as I suggested) isn't true?

Unfortunately, on MSE sometimes posters are too quick to jump to the defence of people looking for ways to avoid responsibilites without having all the facts...e.g., how long ago was the "work/service" completed...by that I mean how long has this service providor been waiting for payment?...OP...any update?

Thank you to those who are discussing this sensibly. None of us are experts, even if we actually are, on here it is a forum. I wonder if my username or prior threads get up some noses but to be frank one or two of you need to exercise your right to ignore rather than waste time typing the sanctimonious pithel you spout! As I say, thanks for those who are engaging as should be.

No "other side" here, it is as I have said.

A dispute led to an invoice of 50% but that is only good if both parties agree, what if one thinks nothing should be paid?

The only invoice produced was the 50% one and this is still in a satisfactory time (within 28 days) so some posts on here are ridiculous! The work was not asked for by me and *I believe* wasnt actually done so the question about when is irrelevant!

It is what it is. A 50% was offered then withdrawn, I disputed the full and disputed the 50% - my question was about the period allowed to pay and whether I had exceeded it or could still just pay it and move on? It is not about liability or responsibility.

Really some of you are tools! Answer a question, or dont?! But this need to show how clever and wordy you are is dull.

The period allowed to pay is whatever the service provider has put on the invoice. If it is not stated you could pay 30 days after the date on the invoice as per the Late Payment legislation. It is not about liability or responsibility.

This won't help you obtain good advice.

Of course it won't, and to those who are helpful I have apologised in advance. But some replies are just plain arrogant and worthless, and it seems the case that some posters/users are just not liked by some. Seriously, answer or don't.....but if you choose to at least be helpful and honest?! !!!!!!!

you "didn't ask for the work"...then simple...you don't pay for the work...simple enough then...
by the way...is there a problem then as you "didn't ask for the work" and that's why you don't know when the work was completed and how long the money has been owed...

or are you too embarrassed to say?

"A dispute led to an invoice of 50% but that is only good if both parties agree, what if one thinks nothing should be paid? "...what if one thinks double should be paid...?

you came on asking for advice and at best you are skirting round the facts so people are unable to give full advice, in other posts you appear to be trying to avoid paying something else so that is relevant to this post, you fail to divulge information about how work was agreed, who work was agreed with, when it was completed, how long the debt has been outstanding and basically you've now told us it's nothing to do with you...

tool....?....grab a mirror...

think you've hit the nail on the head...
