What's wrong with a credit note?

I sincerely doubt the Government has paid the bill yet, so a credit note will simply reduce the outstanding amount.

The payment method itself is fine. Whether that's the correct number for it is another matter.

The security company said the Linklaters review had not identified "any evidence of dishonesty or criminal conduct by any employee of G4S in relation to the billing arrangements under the electronic monitoring contracts."

They probably had a point. For each convict they are told to tag, they probably get a purchase order saying put a tag on this guy for X number of months. If the guy goes back to prison, or dies, they have nothing in place to interrupt the monthly billing for that order, and it simply draws to a close at the end of X months.

I work for a company that charges clients to handle their server infrastructure. If I patch and bounce a blackberry server I will then look for active users and bounce a confirm message off thier handheld to make sure everything is working. It is often then that I notice nobody's blackberry has connected for months because they all moved to iPhones. My firm still charges to maintain the pointless BES server, and if they want a refund they can FO.
