It's all very well making a payment plan that differs from the terms you originally agreed. Many agent's are only paid when an outstanding invoice is paid in full. Thus; delaying a payment also messes with peoples income. Shame on any company that doesn't meet it's agreed payment terms, isn't that what banks are for?

I can confirm that Blue Diamond agreed a payment plan with Ivyline and have paid accordingly. It has been an incredibly difficult time for retailers and suppliers. It has been great to see relationships strengthen as a result of a greater realisation of how much we need each other to be successful.

This agent preferred to be anonymous and post a misleading statement. The reality is we contacted all suppliers and agreed a mutually beneficial payment plan throughout the lock down. If this person would like to contact me directly and provide me with evidence to the contrary I will look into the situation, its always possible one supplier was overlooked. Many of our suppliers have been complimentary on the way we managed the crisis. I guess with respect there is a phrase for this situation please put up or shut up!

And then they stopped paying their suppliers on time.
