TalkTalk Telecom Limited entered administration on 5 October 2026. The administrators are Andrea Jakes, Jonathan Marston and Richard Fleming of Alvarez & Marsal.

In its last payment practices report before the administration, for the period from 1 September 2025 to 28 February 2026, the company said it took an average of 64 days to pay its suppliers' invoices and paid 37% within 30 days. It said 50% were not paid within the agreed terms. That was 10 days faster than in its previous report, for the period to 31 August 2025.

The administrators must send creditors their proposals, including an estimate of what unsecured creditors will receive, within eight weeks of their appointment.

Suppliers owed money by TalkTalk Telecom Limited should total every unpaid invoice, including VAT, and send a claim to the administrators. The case page has the contact details for creditors, the dates, and a step by step plan, and the company page has every payment report it filed.

About these figures

Figures are what each company filed on the government's Check payment practices service, as downloaded on 9 November 2026. Large companies and limited liability partnerships must report every six months under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017. Unless stated, each company's latest report is used, counting only periods that ended on or after 10 May 2025, and reports with figures that cannot be right are left out. Companies whose latest figures look inconsistent with their earlier filings, such as an average more than double their previous report, are not named in our stories; they stay in the tables with a note. How we use the data.
