Who's in the 10% club?

[dannewhouse]

10% club here! always seem to be last
young farmer payment which I don't think helps one bit
neighbour claims 1 field of ours every year (I bet he coloured it in on land agents map and just says "same as last year") which just puts us to back of queue RPA wont do anything as he never replies to dual claim letter so they drop it at that every year! just annoys me I know its a small mistake but seems to cost me time and I cant do anything about it.

I have been paid - but going in tomorrow, not before end of December, I have common rights. So I have now left your club - I hope you are all not far behind me

 

[Tractor Boy]

I could not log on to the BPS site so asked my agent if he could. He did manage to log on this morning whilst on the phone to me.
When the relevant info came up on his screen he quietly said "oh dear. That can't be right. You appear to have 1.25 million entitlements."

I'm guessing that I will not be getting paid anytime soon.

I've just logged on for the first time. Mine came up no data found but I appear to have 2620000 entitlements!

That'll look good on the balance sheet if they pay!

By the time they have pay you and me there won't be any money left for anybody else!

 

[Hesston4860s]

I'm starting to feel left out here, apart from not being payed a penny from 2015 or 2016 I'm also down on entitlements to only 20000 !.
Can't really be fair when others are in the millions.

 

[Bury the Trash]

Won't let me login for some reason but anyway whatever is says on there, i haven't got any money yet.- on what is a very straight forward claim that has been pretty much the same for a few years.

ring the farm community network and tell them about all them bills you have which need paying how you've had the red letter, they got mine sorted very quickly when I needed it.
(don't abuse the service though when you don't actually need it)

 

[Sid]

Also in the no data found club as well....thought that might mean I've been paid.....yeah right! Just means I'm also in the 10% club.

@Guy Smith
Don't you just wish they could give an update as to the month you likely to get paid rather than string us all along. I couldn't give a feck which month it is just as long as i can budget for the right month! If I need to extend my overdraft for 2 months tell me cause if i pay to extend it and the money hit the bank the next day then i would be annoyed then as well!

 

[Guy Smith]

I agree entirely. The point we made repeatedly last year was that it wasn't just the lack of money that was causing stress but the lack of information so farmers couldn't plan cash flow for their businesses.

The trouble was that the RPA didn't know themselves when certain individuals would be paid.

Hopefully the reintroduction of whole case workers - which the NFU had called for - will be some improvement.

Payments are still landing in bank accounts this week and we think the RPA will hit the 90% figure. So don't assume you are in the 10% just yet.

The thread should be renamed the 9% club!! if you believe them https://www.gov.uk/government/news/...91-of-basic-payment-scheme-claims-in-december

So to be clear are you saying they did meet their target or not, no money or info here , website just says no data found whats that about? We are well out of December now.

I think there trying to say 90% by end of Decemberish!!!

 

[Bumble Bee]

There still seems to be a lot of farmers locally that have not received their BPS yet!

I find it hard to believe that they are on target or even anywhere near it.

 

[bankrupt]

no money or info

Same here.

If one takes the RPA website at face value today, fieldfarmer, I'm by far the world's biggest idiot, having failed to make any claim this time against my 3 million or so entitlements.

 

[Guy Smith]

The RPA made a release at the end of last weekend ( i.e before the end of December) it takes 2-4 working days for payments to land in bank accounts. I'm hearing from quite a few members who received money today.

They say they have paid out 91% of claims and 85% of the total fund. I doubt they are lying.

But don't blame the messenger, I'm not the RPA.

The RPA used to come on here and give out useful information but some posters made sure they gave that up.

 

[Bob]

Just phoned RPA , Claim tracking should be back running shortly. They are going to be in touch with all who have not been paid sometime in January to give more information . Its going to be a long month for some.

 

[Mkfm]

Can someone define "shortly" please

 

[fieldfarmer]

On another thread they implied tomorrow.
