[QUOTE="Hay Farmer, post: 6591997, member: 552"] That's interesting - I'm also waiting for some of my 2018 mid tier money. So far, since July, I've been told: [LIST=1] [*]"Thats all you're getting, you've been fined £xxxx for non compliance" - even though i'm fully compliant with my agreement. [*]"Just checking through your files - I'm sorry but we've missed out a continuation sheet, we will shortly pay you the outstanding amount" [*]"I can see how much you're owed - you should have it by the end of August" [*]"Sorry, there's nothing I can do - I'll get the relevant dept to call you. Is there anything else I can help you with?" x 3 [*]and today: "The July payment was only a bridging payment, we haven't processed your claim yet but I estimate you should receive £xxxx. I'm sorry but I can't tell you when you will be paid." [/LIST] Apart from the first conversation - everyone has been very polite (if they call back), but no one seems to know what is going on. They don't even have access to the correct phone numbers for regional offices and so it's impossible to directly contact anyone. You just end up spending hours on the phone or waiting for someone to call you back. I've even been given 2 phone numbers to phone for help, the chap wouldn't say who they were for, they turned out to be for farming charities staffed by volunteers. Anyway, on the direct advice of someone I know within the RPA, its now in the hands of my MP, who's staff seem to spend a lot of time dealing with the RPA. One day I'll write a comedy about it.......
