Bathla unpaid invoices and claim records

Where should I start with an unpaid Bathla invoice?

Start with the company named on your contract, subcontract or purchase order. Create one file for each contracting entity, even if you worked on several projects under the Bathla name. Teneo’s public portal describes an appointment covering named companies and associated entities; a group name is not a substitute for checking your own documents. Teneo portal, checked 5 September 2026.

This guide helps you organise information. It is not a claim form or confirmation that a particular entity owes or has accepted your debt. The Bathla administration overview holds the dated event summary and source links.

How can I make my account easier to check?

Prepare an invoice schedule with one row per invoice or claim. Suggested columns are the contracting company, project, invoice number, invoice date, amount invoiced, credits, payments received and balance outstanding. Record the date you prepared it so later payments can be reconciled.

Keep the supporting material alongside the schedule:

• The signed contract, subcontract or purchase order and relevant amendments.
• Invoices and account statements, matched to payment records.
• Progress claims and evidence of the work claimed.
• Variations, including the correspondence showing what was requested and agreed.
• Delivery dockets, timesheets and other records relevant to the account.
• A separate note explaining any amount disputed by either party.

As an organisational example, if two invoices are unpaid and a part-payment has arrived, show where you allocated that payment. Do not leave an older statement and a newer invoice total looking like two separate debts. This is a record-keeping suggestion, not a ruling on which amounts are legally recoverable.

How should I record retentions and disputed variations?

List them separately and preserve the wording of the relevant contract terms. Note the amount, the project and the documents you rely on. Distinguish an amount invoiced from an amount you believe may become payable later. If you are uncertain about the treatment, flag that uncertainty for the administrator or your adviser rather than silently changing the total.

See questions about retentions, materials and further work for the information to have ready.

Is preparing a schedule the same as lodging a proof of debt?

No. Your schedule supports your account; lodgement follows the administrator’s instructions. ASIC explains that creditors provide claim details for voting and that acceptance for voting does not decide dividend entitlement. ASIC creditor guidance.

The Teneo portal links an initial notice and FAQ. Those downloads could not be read in this review. We therefore do not reproduce a Bathla claim deadline, form or submission address. Obtain the current instructions for your entity directly from the official documents. Do not use this site or our phone number to lodge a formal claim.

What should I check before sending documents?

Check the entity, purpose of the submission, required form, supporting attachments, delivery method and any stated deadline. Keep a copy of what you sent and any acknowledgement. If you are unsure whether a submission arrived, clarify that with the official recipient; a prepared file alone is not evidence of receipt.

Do not share creditor portal passwords or upload bank records to this website. Keep sensitive documents in your own records until you know who needs them and why.

What if I need help before the claim process finishes?

You can discuss the effect on your business without waiting for a payment outcome. Prepare a separate view of your own commitments using the Bathla cash-flow preparation guide. A complimentary initial call can begin with the company name, the approximate unpaid amount and your main concern; it does not promise recovery.

A simple way to organise the file

Keep an unchanged copy of the original documents and a separate working reconciliation. Label your own notes so they cannot be mistaken for a document issued by the company or administrator. This table is an organisational aid, not a prescribed submission format.

What if the paperwork names different companies?

Make a list of the differences rather than choosing a name from memory. Show the contract name, purchase-order name, invoice addressee and any payment reference. Put the documents next to one another and ask the appropriate adviser or official contact to clarify the discrepancy. Do not assume that payment from one company transfers the debt to it.
