John Mitchell Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I received an email from DACS today saying that my payment is on hold due to a "discrepancy in your details". Did anyone else get this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had something to do with VAT, which of course doesn't apply to me because I live in Canada. Perhaps this is happening again. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 DACS gradually stirring into action it seems. So payday looks likely to be end of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Estall Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Yup, had the same email. Unusual to see some one advising payment first to be followed by statement with details, but that's OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you submit a claim to DACS yourself? If so, you shouldn't have authorised Alamy to do it as well as you may be getting paid twice for the same licences unless DACS spots the dual claim..

No I didn't submit a claim this year - I assume they based payment on prior years claims Edited October 3, 2023 by Foreign Export spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think things changed a bit this year - An email came out on 10th February ( I can't paste it here but this is what it said) 'If you have no new updates this year, then you don't need to do anything, as we will automatically submit your claim for you."

Thanks Lynne- our posts crossed! 😀 I vaguely recall that they changed something to set up claims to roll on from year to year. I noticed this because a few years ago I forgot to press the final submit button back in February and my claim wasn't processed that year. Everyone was posting about their DACS payment and the penny finally dropped that I had been left out! They did find something for me in an emergency budget but it was well down. So I did notice that there was a change that would have covered me in that situation. Sorry to be so vague but that is perhaps what has happened with Foreign Export ( and presumably with others if they have changed to ask Alamy to claim and have not cancelled the direct claim).
