That would be as a result of not submitting the overdue annual return and accounts. If no-one objects, (i.e. creditors chasing their money), then the company will automatically be struck off by Companies House.

It certainly doesn't look good...

It is possible to request voluntary striking off....wouldn't surprise me...

Having just skimmed the info on the link provided by kltpzyxm I found this most interesting:

Offences and penalties
It is an offence:

• to apply when the company is ineligible for striking-off;
• to provide false or misleading information in, or in support of, an application;
• not to copy the application to all relevant parties within seven days;
• not to withdraw the application if the company becomes ineligible.

Most offences attract a fine of up to £5,000 on summary conviction (before a magistrates' court) or an unlimited fine on indictment (before a jury). If the directors deliberately conceal the application from interested parties, they are liable not only to a fine but also up to seven years imprisonment.

It seems that they are ineligible if they have traded in the last 3 months and also if they haven't informed all creditors (interested parties), certainly within 7 days.

athomick, you're right, this is not the result of a voluntary process (I've read the info on that link in detail recently ), they are still trading (it is as a result of not submitting the overdue annual return and accounts.)

They will be racking up a fine for not submitting accounts on time (and why are they late...?) which will have to be paid when (or more if) they are submitted.

To be honest, if they owed me money, I'd be very worried.

Two good posts from grayme-m & athomick,
just to be clear, I wasn't stating that I thought it was a voluntary request; I was merely informing the forum of the possibility that it could be....

The thing that caught my eye initially on the Companies House Website was the following statement.....

A private company that is not trading may apply to the Registrar to be struck off the register. It can do this if the company is no longer needed. For example, the active directors may wish to retire and there is no-one to take over from them; or it is a subsidiary whose name is no longer needed; or it was set up to exploit an idea that turned out not to be feasible.

Think about it.....

The Royal Mail website says the 12.9.7. I will check his T & C's to see if it says inclusive but even so if it was delivered on 11.9.7 as it should have been ( if they did not change their address! ) then it would be within 21 days if you count the bill date! So where do we go from here??

At the time of my Mum's contract with TMO the T&CS were:

"In month 4 of your contract you will need to forward bills 1through to 4 to us within 21 days of the issue date on bill number 4. "

so I would take that to mean the posting date, not the received date. Her cashback claim actually arrived on the 21st day but her court claim will also use this argument about the word "forward" in the T&Cs, as well as the argument about them redirecting to another address, and also will be mentioning Ofcoms code of practice saying 60 days is reasonable.

Whatever you do, don't just accept it. Read every bit of this thread and you'll be well armed!
