    He sounds more like a scammer to me.


    I hope you get your money back.


    I would be leaving reviews on him on the web

    Who were you contracting with originally - him personally or the company?

    The company originally but as soon as the message is sent via his website he replies via his personal email address.

    If it's the company which owed the debt, on what basis are you holding him personally liable?

    I’m not too sure what you mean?
    The company is his and only his, the ccj is in both his name and the company name?

    Perhaps you misread some of what I said ... have you tried a WHOIS lookup on his website address? Sometimes you can find a relevant address that way - though if he's a scammer he'll be using a mechanism to mask such details being disclosed.

    I mean if a limited company owes you money, it's the company you sue. You can't just decide to chase individuals as well, even if they're the company's shareholders and/or directors.

    I think we need to distinguish between the phrase ' the company' and ' the limited company', as I'm not sure they've ever been a limited company whilst the op has had dealings with them.

    Or just stop calling it a "company" at all if what we're talking about is just a sole trader. OP mentioned a now-dissolved limited company but I'm not sure where they come into it.
