about six weeks ago the firm I was subcontracting for went into liquidation, I was owed nearly five weeks wages.
I contacted the liquidators Wilie and Bisset and was told that the couldn't help me.
Is there anyone that I can get in touch with to try and get my money. I don't have enough to pay anyone up front but would be willing to pay if my wages were redeemed.
the firm in question are now back trading under a different name, surely this is wrong.
Yours,

What exactly did the liquidators state?
The liquidators job is to value what assets they have, raise funds and pay off what they can to the creditors.
If they are stating the old company did not have sufficient (or any) assets to pay you, then you have lost the money from the company. However, you should be able to get it back from the government, see instructions here:

The new company is a different legal entity, completely separate and owe you nothing.0 -

Yes, but OP states that they were "subcontracting". There may or may not be an employer/employee relationship.0 -

I missed that bit.
Yes, if subcontracting, little you can do if there are no assets in the liquidated company.
As a creditor, the liquidator should give you a statement when the company is wound up.0 -
Found that link which could be useful in this case. It shows that even sub contractors can claim through The Insolvency Service, with a lil help from MP....

You serve what is called.
"Statutory notice of claim"
Write statutory notice of claim on the header of the letter and outline clearly in non emotive language what you are owed as a "creditor" by who and that the letters serves as served notice of a statutory claim to the appointed persons or receiver.
You sign the letter as true certification that the above facts are truthful
You send this by certified post not e-mail to the principle executive officer of the receivers company.
They then have to place you on the asset creditors list or you can claim the amount directly from the receiver should they fail to do so.
You still may not get any money, tax is paid, employee wages are paid and the rest is dividend up amongst the creditors who have made a statutory claim at % of pennies in the pound.I do Contracts, all day every day.0
