    Did an online reading with Npower on 25th June and money in bank on 2nd July, so not bad I guess.

    Looks like they're better at sending money out than collecting it. We went nearly a year before they managed to generate a bill for us to pay them!

    Scottish Power has just paid in 15 days again, seems to be their new norm. I can live with that.

    We're with Scottish power too.

    Submitted readings shortly after sunset on 30th June; paid today (24 days).

    Funnily enough, 15 days used to be their 'old norm' a couple of years ago.

    Agreed, then it drifted out into the 20s but, for me, for the last two quarters, it has gone back to 15 again.

    I logged my readings with SSE on May 1st Still waiting!!!

    Last quarter it took exactly 8 weeks for the money to arrive:

    Yeah they seem to have really slowed up since they sent out a letter saying they would pay within 28 days. Last payment took 2 months plus and still waiting for my last reading to be paid (now a month nearly).

    Submitted latest meter reading on 1st Sept & have received BACS email today.
    1 week this time from EDF - not going to complain ( I can remember waiting 6 weeks + for my first couple of payments ! ).
    Keep up the good work EDF.
    Cheers ....Nobby.
