Payment methods
BACS
BACS (Bank Automated Clearing System) payments are made directly into your bank account. They provide immediately cleared funds and you also receive a remittance advice.
If you are paid by BACS the proposed payment date shown is the date on which you will receive a payment in your bank account.
For some smaller banks the BACS credit may appear a day later.
Cheque
The proposed payment date will be the date by which the last of the cheque/remittance advices are despatched from the Financial Services Settlement section.
If you are still being paid by cheque, we recommend that you change to BACS, which is a more efficient payment method.
Remittance advice
Remittance advice is despatched using DX or first class post.
Payment queries
If you have any queries about payment by BACS, please telephone the Master Index Section.
Details of the amount due to you may be obtained by contacting either your regional office or the Solicitors/Counsel Settlement Section. Details of the amount due are available one day prior to the proposed payment date.
If you have a query regarding an individual item shown on a remittance advice, you should contact your regional office, which authorises and processes all such bills.

Names, addresses, DX, fax and telephone numbers and bank details for BACS payments are held on the LSC’s Master Index database.
