  • I think the post is meant to be ironic.

    Sarcastic I'd of said, gave me a good laugh anyways...

    Wouldnt it be better to start a small claims and send it to [Name removed by Forum Team] as he is the director of the company at their home address?
    Also if [Name removed by Forum Team] owns his house maybe a charge could be placed on it if they refuse to pay the cc judgements.

    No, the whole point of a limited company is that it's their liability that is limited. I don't believe the directors/owners of either a PLC or Ltd company can be held liable in any way for the company's debts, unlike a privately held company (e.g. sole trader). I may have this wrong, it was about 15 years since I studied it!

    Going from memory you're about right. IIRC Mr [Name removed by Forum Team] may have to pay a nominal amount (could be just £1) to wind-up the company but that is his only liability - i.e. limited liability.

    Hmm. He could come on here and wind us up for nothing...

    It's difficult to have a battle of wits with someone who only appears to have half his allocation.
