Billing & invoices

Focus Group usually invoice one month in advance for line rental and one month in arrears for call charges, however, on your first bill the rental will be backdated to when the lines were installed, so you may have up to three months of line rental charges on the first bill as well as any installation charges.

If payment of any of your invoices is overdue we will send you reminders. If you haven’t made payment within 14 days of the first reminder we have the right to suspend your services

If an Openreach engineer has to go to a property to fix a fault, there will be a standard charge of £145.00 plus £145.00 for each hour (TRC) that the engineer is onsite if the equipment is non-BT maintained, the engineer will also charge if no fault is found or the fault is on equipment e.g. faulty fax machine or telephone.

If a charge appears on your invoice that you do not recognise, please email creditcontrol@focusgroup.co.uk with your query, this can then be forwarded onto the correct department to look into to see of the charge is correct.

The simplest way to set up a Direct Debit on your account is to call the Accounts team on 01273 874190, all that we need is your sort code and account number, alternatively you can email creditcontrol@focusgroup.co.uk and request a Direct Debit mandate.

The Direct Debit will usually be collected 14 days after the invoice has been generated, this ensures that any queries can be answered before collection.

Credit notes are issued separately to invoices and will not show on any invoices, however, it will show on the balance owing, for example if you have a credit note for £10.00 and your next invoice totals £100.00, the balance owing on the account will be £90.00, if an account is on Direct Debit, the Direct Debit will take the credit note into account.

If you would like any additional reports along with future invoices e.g. itemisation, please email creditcontrol@focusgroup.co.uk and we will arrange for this to be included for future invoices.
