geogphotos Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) The last two years direct DACS payments were made on 30 Sept. I've just had an email from them saying that this year payments will be delayed: I am writing to you regarding your impending Payback royalty payment, which we usually distribute to members in early October. Unfortunately, this year your payment will be slightly delayed, as we are in the process of implementing a new operating system. We are sorry that this has impacted the payment date this year, but please be assured, we are still aiming to distribute royalties in October.

Marianne Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Thanks. Me neither but since it's more than mid-way through the month, thought I'd ask in case money arrives for you folks in the UK sooner than across the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pleased to report that we have successfully run the royalty allocation and the team are currently undertaking some final checks before we make payments to ensure accuracy.

Avpics Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Today: 'I am pleased to update you that you will be receiving your annual Payback royalty payment in the next few days. Your royalty statement will also be emailed to you by the end of this week. I would like to thank you again for your patience while we implemented our new operating system and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 DACS told me "Next few days" and email statement by Saturday. I assume this week. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Are you all getting round-robin emails from Dacs? Or are these in response to individual contact? I'm not getting any general emails, but I was in touch with them last week because I changed my email address. I was told that payment would be this week.

Allan Bell Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Mine was probably a round-robin as I have not been in touch with them. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan That's a bit worrying, because they told me the other day that they had updated my email address. Maybe I'm not on this year's payout list.

Cryptoprocta Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) I got my statement a couple of hours ago: £198 compared to £344 last year and £399 in 2020, so a 50% decrease in two years, another blow to income. Cash is in my bank account. Edited November 2, 2022 by Cryptoprocta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 In my bank today. Roughly 60% of 2021's figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Mine also in, down to £86 from £110 last year and lowest since 2018. Annoying but still money for nowt at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Lowe Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 In the bank this morning - £203.52. Lowest payment I've had from them but still a reasonable return for a couple of hour's 'work'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Down about 10%. Perhaps they're starting from Z because it's not in yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying but still money for nowt at the end of the day. Don't regard it as "money for nowt" – time, gear, travel, utility costs etc. all needed to produce those images that are being copied /used elsewhere so it is welcome income Down 30% on 2021 payment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
