Title: bacs payment
Post by: johnny bravo on March 10, 2015, 03:36:12 pm

If someone wants to pay you via a bacs payment,     do you just send them your account number + sort code, + account name.       thats it.

the same as transferring money as in online banking

I also give them a reference number so I know for sure who has paid.  I use <housenumber(or first part of house name)><postcode> for a unique reference.
I've known one bank who didn't show the customer's name so there may be others.  However, all showed the reference.

I ask them to use there address as payment reference,reason being if threre name is smith or Jones you may have a few on your books with the same name,I've not experienced any problems to date but there's always a first time,the worst thing is when they pay and the reference is window cleaner,works for them but not for us,as we don't have a clue who's paid

Yeah I know.  I've got a couple who put "Windows" or similar - luckily they have unusual surnames which are showing up.
