Steve Valentia Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Has anyone had their DACS Payback for 2019 yet? It may be a bit early - they pay "in the autumn". I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed mine. Thanks, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Estall Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Last year I received my direct debit from DACS on Oct 1st which was quite a bit earlier than previous years. Direct claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Last year for me, via Alamy, it was cleared on the 17/10/2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Valentia Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Thanks for all the replies. I had a feeling it was September for me last year, which is why I asked, but I could be wrong. I also claim directly like @M.Chapman and @Robert M Estall. I think Alamy get enough from me as it is - or they would if I had sold anything lately. it's more refunds than anything!

AlbertSnapper Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) There was a link up with DACS and their German counterpart a while back. Some of us may have made a German claim then. I wonder if the German payment with be put with the UK royalty payment too ? Edited September 19, 2019 by AlbertSnapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Do you receive any kind of statement beforehand, or does it just turn up in your account? I've left Alamy to claim for the uses via them, but have claimed for the first time this year for the uses directly with the publishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Estall Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 After you have filled out your DACS form you won't hear anything from them unless they have a query. If you hear nothing, then all is well and the next thing you will hear is the gentle plop of the payment dropping into your account. It used to be a more hearty Thud but is less avery year as more photographers and artists make their claims. Only fair I guess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Valentia Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks @Nigel Kirby and everyone for the feedback. October looks favourite. I'll let you know when mine comes, and if it's on a par with previous ones. Stephen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) 30% more than last year as well- I don't think I'm in a new category so it must be the German dividend😉 Edited October 4, 2019 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Valentia Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Ironically, having started the thread, nothing for me yet. I'm assuming (more of a hope, really) that as I now live "abroad", my already useless bank is taking it's own sweet time to process the exchange.

Avpics Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Well that was a huge let down. I get more via Alamy for a fraction of the published images so I assume not all publishers are signed up to it? I'll wait to see a statement before enquiring about it.
