The only culprit here is that the claims must be declared and due.

We have not received a credit note for September. Only for July and August. July has been paid, so only August is declared and due.

If they still don’t bother to send a credit note (inverse invoice) for September, maybe it’s a good idea to actively send them an invoice for that period. If they don’t dispute it, it will become due and can be offset.

We have received a credit note for September - it was sent on 31-Oct.

I did receive invoice/credit notes for July, August and September.

In the UK businesses send monthly statements to each other showing a list of outstanding invoices and credit notes and the outstanding balance remaining to be paid.

Do german companies send statement like that to each other?

Maybe I'll put all of these invoices (July, August and September AND the extra one on Nov 01) into a statement and send it to them so that I'm basically clarifying my position on this.

On the other hand . . .

I am 70 years old next year. I am a small UK LTD (Same as a GmbH). My company doesn't owe anything to anyone. (except for DR). Nobody owes anything to my company (except for DR). My company has no assets. Only a tiny amount of cash in the bank.

The IP in the products I sell belongs to me personally in that I created them before I created the LTD and the LTD just supports and sell them.

So my LTD has basically nothing.

Maybe I should just use this situation as an excuse to close my business and go in to retirement. I do feel an obligation to my users but hey, I can't live forever. I can blame DR saying they sunk and took my business down with it.

So. Maybe I should just tell them to sue my business. As long as I've done nothing intentionally wrong then they can have the company and I can walk away - or something like that.

As a UK business they can see my company accounts so will see that it's not worth pursuing me.

There's no general rule. It depends on the agreements of the business partners (but they can't break the law no matter what the contracts may say).

For example: If you sell/buy machinery, there are payment conditions totally different to -let's say- toilet paper.

Wanna buy a weaving machine? Pay one third upfront, one third upon delivery, one third after 30/60/90/xxx days. You won't receive a notice from the bookkeeping department at the end of each month. Sounds logic, no?

Toilet paper? Within 10 days with 2% deduction ("Skonto"), 30 days net. If you are a new customer, they will remind you when your payment is due (if not ask for paying upfront because of your status).

Services like DR are a totally different story, though. But still, they can't make their own rules.

I did it 15 years ago and left Germany for East Asia. No more trouble, no problems and no tax since then. I'm very sad that they blocked me to login. I'm very keen to refund even the last 365 days and not only since July which I did 4 weeks ago.

... no tax since then.

You're skating on thin ice ...

No! Completely legal.

Maybe some people did refund older orders and that's why the logins got blocked

[elijahssss]

My account has been blocked, and they are demanding a four-figure sum that I supposedly owe for issuing refunds to my users. I haven't received any money in July, August, or September. I've come to terms with these losses, but my question is - will this ever end? Or is the next step going to be calls from debt collectors hired by Digital River to collect their debts from me?

We also got the invoice from DR and I'll talk to my lawyer.
But I assume we will send an answer letter stating that we first like to finish August and September before looking into October. Then we ask for details about how they come to the sums and dispute the charges for support. And point out that we can't login to their website anymore.

On the other side, we may just wait for a reminder on the invoice.

You got a letter or email? I just asking, because I got nothing.

[Christian67587]

1st November I got an email with subject "MyCommerce Credit Note 31-OKT-2024 [CRN_P]".
And that had an invoice from DR about their fees.

[IaES]

I received the invoice for their platform fee and support fee.

If I was still happily working with DR would they expect payment to their bank for that invoice or would they just balance it against income from future sales?

Is it possible to organize Poll in this thread? It seems that DR paid less than 30-50% of vendors, random selection among those who have less than 20K foy July. It would be interesting to have a poll attached to the forum topic, with options "I did receive July payment", "I did not receive July payment", "I am not with DR, just want to view results".
