From the above 'order' it seems that GC's PC's is no longer a company. Cheques have to be made payable to [Name removed by Forum Team] in person! SUrely that is another breach of company law to say your business is a limited company when it is not?

Companies House is proposing to strike GC'sPC's Ltd from its register. However, the process may be delayed as a result of an intervention by an earlier MSE poster with an unfulfilled County Court judgment against the company, one which [Name removed by Forum Team] seems to think -- according to his response on here -- can now be avoided on the basis of yah-boo-sucks-to-you.

Striking a company off the Companies House register does not mean the company no longer exists! For a company to cease to exist it has to be formally 'wound-up'. One way to wind a company up is for a creditor of the company to apply to the court for a winding-up order.

In practice, I think the debt owed would have to be quite substantial to do this and the average purchaser from the website would not consider such an action.

I would suggest that the company no longer has a credit/debit card facility because claims against the credit card company under S.75 of the Consumer Credit Act (in the case of credit card payments over £100) and chargebacks on credit cards purchases under £100 and chargebacks on debit cards (whatever value).

Alarm bells should ring when a former company is now trading as a sole trader and no longer has a card payment facility. These are classic signs of a failing business. Personally, I would never buy from anyone on the internet who did not offer a credit card facility.

The fact that [Name removed by Forum Team] now only accept payments into his own bank account (and not that of a company) means he can no longer 'hide' behind the corporate veil of a registered company and makes him personally liable for any debts in future transactions.

The Count Court Judgement is for £830 . I would have thought that's quite substantial.

I think (in theory) a creditor can petition fo a winding-up order for a debt as little as £750. In practice, the cost of such a petition makes this unworthwhile on debts of that amount, particularly as the company is most likely insolvent.

The other thing is that GC's PC's (the company) no doubt purchased goods which [Name removed by Forum Team] (the person) is now tryng to sell! I would suggest that is probably illegal too!

I think maybe a call to the Insolvency Service would be in order in this case!

Companies can actually be struck off without actually going through the process of liquidating them. Instead, they are simply removed from the Companies House register, however there are certain conditions. (Of which I can't just remember off the top of my head!)

I have checked the Londo Gazette website and there are no entries for GC's Pc's (the company) since May 2008. That means no-one has petitioned for a winding-up order (yet).

I have checked the Insolvency Service website and can see no-one of [Name removed by Forum Team] 's age that has been made bankrupt (he may be too young to be made bankrupt anyway).

Of course, if anyone has details of the the directors of GC's PC's they could also be checked for bankruptcy on the Insolvency Service website. The names of any directors can be got from Companies House website for just £1.

PAUL VARJAK: Companies House themselves have decided to strike them off the register, as they may choose to do for various failings. However, a creditor has a judgement against the Company and has petitioned, successfully, for Companies House to hold-off on the striking -off for several months to give him chance to to have this judgement satisfied (as once the Company ceases to exist then the judgement will lapse?). GCPC's apparently, so far, have not acknowledged this judgement against them. {Removed by Forum team} ignorance or incompetence rears it's head again (or is it the Nigerians again?)
