    You know they are at one address - they refused to sign for a letter there. They can do that, its not unlawful and is a risk of sending post that needs to be signed for.

    So what you do is send 2 copies of the same letter by regular first class post but do not stick them in a postbox.

    Take each letter to a different post office and go to the counter and ask them for a certificate of posting. Its free and will record the fact that a letter was posted. Obviously you keep the certificates of posting as proof.

    You do it from 2 post offices as while one letter could go astray in the post, the likelihood of both vanishing would be pretty much non-existent so this gives a pretty cast iron guarantee that they have received at least one of the letters.
  • I thought complain letter should be sent by recorded delivery only.

    I don't accept recorded del mail (unless I've ordered and I know it coming).

    Recorded is for the senders benefit not the recipient.

    If this is a limited company then you are wasting your time sending anything to the director - they have limited liability and don't care what you say you are owed.

    Nor do Companies House care, and it's nothing to do with the MP.

    If the company owe you money and refuse to respond, then you will have to issue a letter before action and then, if they ignore it, take legal action against them. But if the company no longer exists, you will probably never see your money.
  • This is a limited company registered in company house.

    What about this ? Does it work in this situation

    If you are owed money and getting no response from a company you know is still in business, your best bet is probably the small claims court. Costs very little.
  • But employment tribunal not works in this situation ?

    This service will give you advice. They won't do it for you and they don't enforce action. You know what you need to do already, so you need to do it.

    As a matter of detail - you are, or were, an employee of the company? And what did they not pay you and why? I know it may seem an obvious answer, but there is nothing else to this other than they didn't pay you? Because sometimes people forget to mention other stuff that they think isn't relevant, and it can get them the wrong answer.
  • Thanks sangie59.

    I do not know any other reason.

    What I think , I can not proof. I think,
    " As this is only small amount of money for couple of shifts , They think who will complain as legal system is complex and time consuming. They will pay may be later on . Just trying to steal some money."
