    hiya folks,

    Ta for the replies.None of the domain name sites that were recommended gave me any more information than what I already have.

    If you don't have their full corporate details but a trading name and address, send the debtors letter anyway.

    I would send a debtor's letter to the trading name and address, but the debtor's template I have informs me that if I use the wrong company name and the sheriff court try to enforce the debtor's letter, then I'll incur costs.

    So, the question is,
    can someone recommend a template or course of action for exactly my scenario?Ideally someone who's been in a similar scenario.

    many thanks,

    yogi

    As previously mentioned, what is the company's web domain?

    hiya,

    I'm obviously not keen to mention the company domain name on the off-chance that someone on the forums knows them.
    There must be a definitive way to find the registered company name via their domain name or address.

    It's the year 2010, I have their domain name and company address...Surely, surely that must be enough for me to somehow obtain their registered company name / number?

    Thanks,

    yogi

    Suit yourself, I just thought that someone here might be able to look up the owner of the domain for you. Is it a .uk domain, have you done a Nominet whois search or try here - http://whois.domaintools.com/

    Unless they are a limited company they will not be registered with Companies House.

    Possibly a trade organisation though?

    What do you actually mean by a "debtors letter"? A Court claim?

    If it is a small claims matter then there are rarely cost sanctions. I think you need to give more details...or get proper legal advice.

    He doesn't want to tell us or take any advice. I think we're wasting our time with this guy.

    Yogiberr, the free Companies house info will only show the registered address and info regarding the last date of accounts etc etc and only if it is a Ltd company.

    Surely you must have some kind of contact details for the Company if there is a debt in place?

    You really need to either give us the domain name or post a link to the website.... really. Even if its BigWobbleyBoobies.com or such like...we won't judge....much;)

    hiya,

    No, I'm not wasting people's time.I have taken the advice of looking up the company name on domains and contacted companies house.

    If you don't have their full corporate details but a trading name and address, send the debtors letter anyway.

    Ok, where do i get the template for this debtor's letter?The one I have needs the actual company trading name?

    ta,
