somebody please advise !!

buddy143

I am a locum doctor, set up my own limited company. The company ceased off trading few months ago. I have sent the strike off application to companies house. Later received a letter from them to say that the company will remain on the register for 3 months and if no trading happens, it will be striken off automatically. Yesterday received another letter to say that its been striken off the register. Today I got a letter from HSBC to say that as the company has been taken off the register, any money left in the company's account will be sent to the treasury. I left about 2300 pounds in the account, just because i thought if any problems arise within the 3 months mentioned by companies house, i can pay from the account (purely out of my ignorance).
I have spoken to my accountant who said he himself hasnt come across such a situation before. He said may be i can write to the treasury explaining the situation and asking for the money to be paid back.
Can somebody advise me what to do please?
I have paid the corporation tax, VAT etc within the time limits and never had any problem.
Will I lose the money or will the treasury pay it back.
not sure !!

I have no experience of this, but I wonder whether the following extract from the "Guidelines for the Assets of Dissolved Companies that have vested in the Crown as bona vacantia" page at http://www.bonavacantia.gov.uk/output/bvc1-assets-of-dissolved-companies-that-have-vested-in-the-crown-as-bona-vacantia-1.aspx might be of help?

"Bank Accounts
13. If a bank account is held in the name of a dissolved company, and the company is still trading, the members should restore the company to the Register if that is possible. Either court or administrative restoration may be possible, and you should take your own legal advice as to the position. After restoration the ownership of the property would usually return to the Company. If the company is not trading, it has been recognised that restoration is not always an economic proposition. However, the Treasury Solicitor has a limited discretion to make payments to former members, liquidators, administrators and CVA supervisors of the dissolved company out of any money held in the company's bank account. If you wish to apply for such a discretionary payment, you should complete the application form (DG2) if the company can be restored or (DG3) if the company cannot be restored and the relevant Statutory Declaration. These application forms and the Statutory Declaration, together with the accompanying guidelines (BVC2) and (BVC3), are available on our website."

How long is a piece of string, seriously ask the council about the keys using a form of communuication.
