  • E-mailed E-On last Friday with 1/4 reading; payment in my account today...E-On are 'on the ball' - 4 working days ! :beer:

    Submitted reading by email (rather than by phone as requested) on Thur 29th November in the evening, received payment notification letter on saturday 8th December (so around 6 working days)

    Happy with that quick turnaround...
    Well done EON FIT payment team!

    I emailed reading after their email requesting it on 3rd December & got a confirmation email straight back.

    That was a week ago today and have heard nothing else.

    I hope this does not mean a return to the dark days of long waits for EDF fit payments - last time it was all turned around within a week !

    All is well with EDF .....

    Email received today with PDF showing amount to be paid within 5 working days.
    I can live with that !

    Reading submitted to EDF Monday 10th via website.
    PDF remittance recieved by email Thursday 13th.
    FiT payment credited in bank account Friday 15th.

    Very happy with the turnaround time, well done EDF! :beer:

    Last quarterly payment speed was 6 working days (including the submission day), so EDF have shaved a working day off the processing time.

    Very happy with the turnaround time, well done EDF!

    I've submitted mine today, via the website, so we'll see how they do with that.

    The indications now seem to be that EDF are no longer waiting for the month end to start processing. So, I'm now going to choose my meter reading day to try to equalise the quarterly payments. Having had a look at my meter reading months (3/6/9/12 ) the nearest I can do is:
    March - last day possible
    June - Mid month
    Sep - First day possible
    Dec - Mid month
    This probably won't achieve much but at least it makes the winter quarters 3.5 months and the summer quarters 2.5 months each.

  • Better get my reading submitted tonight...

    Nearly forgot :o
  • We are with EDF, e mail reading submitted early hours of Tuesday 11th, acknowledgement the same day, payment in bank by 1am Friday 14th, all very smooth, just like last time.

    Well done EDF!

    Not only can I not fault EDF for their fast turnaround this quarter, but according to the invoice PDF I've just received, they have promised to pay me 11 months ago. :T Let's see Eon beat that for prompt service.

    "Any payment due will be credited to your bank account within 5 working days of 12.01.2012."

    Just need to scour my old statements to check it arrived. Fingers crossed! ;)

    Reading submitted 14th
    Remittance advice 18th
    Payment in bank 19th

    So, 5 days which included a weekend! Well done EDF!

    However - I feel ripped off that, according to the remittance advice, they're only paying me last February instead of Martyn's January! :wink:
