    Just phone them and ask when your next payment is and how much, then they will probably say 'you had one today' or something.

    Hello,

    I know that payments for ctc/wtc were affected this week due to a bank holiday in Scotland, so this maybe the reason you recieved your payment early.

    There was no bank holiday in Scotland this week? We used to have a bank holiday first Monday in August but its now the same as England and at the end of the month.
