Company who has CCJ against me has been dissolved, what now?

TehCoz

Hi there,

An ex employer took a CCJ against me when I refused to pay for a company laptop that he wouldnt take back (he insisted on cash rather than the property) and the company filed a ccj against me.

Anyway, the company has since dissolved and im not sure on what that means.

Who do I have to pay to clear the remainder of the ccj? or does it get taken off?

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Presumably the dissolved company's creditors would have a say in it.

Was a really small, short lived company. Im guessing around 1 - 2 years old.

How would I proceed to get this sorted then?

In order to receive a more precise answer you may need to provide some greater detail.

1. What was the amount of the original debt?
2. How much had you paid under the CCJ before the company was dissolved?
3. How much is owed now?
4. Are you still paying the CCj?
5. If you have paid monies on the CCj after the company was dissolved, to whom have those payments gone to?

Now that the company to whom the money is owed has itself been dissolved, the outstanding debt is now bona vacantia. The term " bona vacantia"is latin and means “ownerless property.”

Bona Vacantia is property, e.g. physical assets, bank balances or debts owed for example, that was owned either by a registered company that has been dissolved, or by a person who has died without leaving a Will and with no relatives entitled to inherit their estate. These assets then belong to The Crown.

A person can apply for the dissolved company to be ressurected but cost of this may exceed to debts owed , so would make this in some cases be unviable. Plus, if the company was would up by it's own creditors rather than just being dissolved, the situation could be more complicated.

With regard to the CCJ, you best course of action is to contact the court where the CCJ was issued and explain to them the the creditor no longer exists, providing some evidence of the company having been dissolved, e.g. copy of entry relating to company on the Companies' Register.

Hope this helps.

Contact the company creditors, you should be able to get that information from the court where the company was wound up, dissolved, liquidated etc.

May be worth contacting the Court. I assume all the Company's affairs will now come under the Receivers or liquidators.
