Supplier into liquidation. What should I do?

Muppet81

Last week I had some solid fuel delivered and they dropped an invoice off with it.

The following day, the firm went into liquidation.

What should I do? If the firm has gone bust, will I contacted by the liquidators for the monies I owe them? Should I send a cheque to the firm even though I know they have gone bust?

Or .... might I even get away without paying. Very unlikely knowing my luck :rolleyes:

Any advice appreciated.

The administrators will get in touch with all creditors asking for payment - however it could take a while for them to get in touch. I honestly don't think you'll get away without paying - shame!

For everyone else's sake, I think it would be best if you paid. You will be chased eventually - more than if this wasn't a liquidation issue. You will have to pay sooner or later, why not sooner. If you were on the other side - ie, a creditor - you would be furious if the administrators did not pursue every debt with gusto.

However ... it would be reasonable to wait until you knew WHO to pay and where to send it. Perhaps, if you know who is handling it, you could contact them and check where you should send your cheque for the existing debt.
