Refund Index & Definitions

Below you will find definitions for key terms talked about in this collection.

Credit Note

A credit note is a document used by the supplier to confirm you (the customer) are to be credited with a certain amount of money.

Credit notes are typically used by suppliers when you have been overcharged (e.g. the invoice you paid was incorrect).

In this case, a credit note is important as it confirms in writing that your CSP are owed money from your supplier. The Union Finance team need this to pay the money refunded into your CSPs account.
