February Distribution 2010

We’ve held the distribution a month earlier than usual this year which means that any Members who are owed payments from ALCS should receive them in February.The BACS payments are going to be made on the 17th of February with statements also being sent out shortly after.

No statement yet?

We aren’t always able to get the statements out at exactly the same time as the payments but if you've already registered you can login to the Members’ area of this website and download your statement  if you’d rather not wait for the post. If you haven't done so already then register now so that you can access your statement as soon as you've received your payment in future.  

Question about your payment or statement?

If you have a question about your payment or statement have a look at our dedicated distribution page for further information by clicking here.
