Company going bust - still owing me money!

Hi there, I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, but I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me...
I'm self employed and basically, I am owed for several days work by a company which has apparently gone bust - I heard about it on the grapevine and when I called their number there was a "We can't come to the phone right now" message. But I think it must be a fairly recent happening as I was speaking to them not long ago (bugging them for my payment).
Is there any way I can get my money back? Please advise!
Thanks in advance.

Liquidators don't deal on a first come first served basis0 -
Firdt of all establish the correct legal position of the company, it may have ceased trading, gone into liquidation, into adminstration or receivership. (these are the most common)
you can the basic info from companieshouse.gov.uk free of charge. If the company is in liquidation/receivership/administration then you must contact the insolvency practitioner dealing with this. If you are unhappy with the way they are dealing with the case, ie putting perference on other debts before yours without legal bais, then you can appeal.
I would say that unless the debt is sizeable, it probably isn't worth going beyond stating the liabilities you are owed to the liquidator.
this area is quite involved so, and there is only so much advice you can receive here, but hopefully it will point you in the right direction.0
