The contract can't have been anything to do with the old company - they didn't exist at the time the OP engaged the contract of works.

Agree with Jenni_D, a dissolved company cannot form a contract. It does open up the possibility thatcthe Director themselves becomes liable.Usman90, now is the time to start saving together all your evidence for any claim. I would issue it to both the new company and the Director (if they were the person you dealt with). There are no guarantees but if you can show an independent person a detailed timescale with evidence that the dissolved company cannot be the one you could have formed a valid contract with and maintained that throughout the work done it will help your argument.May you find your sister soon Helli.
