Scotland’s farmers will once again be offered a loan scheme to cover their BPS pay

[llamedos]

Applications for the opt-in loan scheme are expected to be sent to producers later this month, with payments – which will be in the region of 90 per cent of the due figure – set to begin in early November.

Surprise surprise.

Needs another £10million! Ffs will anyone be held accountable for this?

Never managed to figure out how they know how much you are owed, so they can loan you 90% of it, yet are unable tp pay you! They have the cash, as they are paying out loans!
I think it is just a SNP money laundering process to enable them to use the cash that is not claimed for loans to bolster the otherwise dismal spending crisis!

The fig is more like 50% of total.

our loan letter was joined by a letter telling us how much interest the government had paid for the interest on the loan.
what a joke, it must be costing the country a fortune and still throwing money at the computer system.
they penalise us for genuine mistakes,
but seem to be 'rewarding' the company that wrote the computer software

Had a letter last week to remind me that I haven't paid back their accidental double payment from June (£600).

I'm tempted to offer it back to them in the form of a 'loan', while I spend 10 months 'processing the paperwork'.

Sack the incompetent civil servants who wrote the contract with the software consultancy firm, and sack the incompetent civil servants who thought they understood what the software was needed to do.

Yeah, that's going to happen


At least after the recent hellish weather conditions, the government has realised a speedy payment will help out an awful lot of people struggling with cashflow.

Not yet. The only thing I got was the loan letter to sign. I would imagine I'll get a letter within a few days, usually the case
