COmpany gone belly up

shoots

Hi i dont know if this is in the rights place,

hope you can help
i brought something from the web few weeks ago, website is live and still live, no item has arrived and no response from emails.
the website has no contact info attached so cant ring them.

i have been on companies house and it looks like the company has gone down, i could be wrong.

the main question is is it right that the website would still be live and taking orders if the company has gone under?
its a ltd company.

many thanks

What do you mean by "it looks like the company has gone down" ?

hi, it says its dissolved, its addressed as the same company but because the website has no contact details im relying on the name to search companies register

this does not means the company had gone bust all this means that they have deregistered the limited company name, they could still trade as a sole trader.

We would have to know the Company in question to know for sure if its folded and if its still trading online whilst folded.

By law, any company unable to provide items, would not be allowed to continue selling them.

hi thankyou, website is https://www.tool-hut.com

through a domain search the registered address matches comany on companies house as dissolved.

i could be completely wrong on it all but not had any response to emails

wouldnt have thought you could trade online when dissolved and not supply/

thankyou

Have you tried a WHOIS on the domain to get the details of the person/company who registered the domain?

in whois admin contact has an email and a telephone number.

also if you have a limited company their is nothing preventing you from dissolving the company name and still trade as a sole trader

looking at their site they are almost dropshipping.

also as a UK business then they must have their physical address displayed on their site

No address shown on the website (illegal), no contact phone number and a returns policy not in line with current UK legislation. (also illegal).

This doesn't appear to be the case here. According to companies house, tool-hut has been

As above - it does appear on Companies House to have been dissolved, it sounds very dodgy. If this is the case I would suggest you issue a chargeback from your bank.
