Business bank account frozen

Hi guys
My ltd company was dissolved voluntarily by myself the director via filling out a DS01 form (iirc). 
Unfortunately I realised I left some funds in my business bank account l. That's been frozen and I have had a letter  from the bank than I need to reinstate my business if I want to claims the funds as it's now the property of the crown. I have been left with 60 days to do this by.
I am worried about loosing my money. (Business money). 

Has anyone got any advice on the matter.  

Thanksx

    I'm not sure what advice you are particularly looking for, as you have been advised of the situation, and what you can do.

    Have you read the government website that gives more details?

    Read the link in Cedrag's message. Sadly you need to reinstate the company to get access to the funds. Not sure how much it will cost, but a reason why you have months between filing DS01 and the company being struck off is to give you time to tidy up all business affairs. The banks won't give shortcuts because that money now belongs to the crown not you until you can provide evidence to the contrary.
    May you find your sister soon Helli.
    Sleep well.
