Judgement in my favour. Company now trying to get stuck off company house!

Okydoky25

Long story short. Finally after 6 months judgement has been made in my favour against my dodgy builder. They have till next week to pay. 

Quick look on companies house has shown that he is trying to close down his company. (He’s done this before). 

A notice has gone in the Gazette. I have emailed Companies House explaining my situation but does anyone know if I can get this stopped with the Judgement I have or can he still go ahead and if he can where does that leave me?

If a LTD seeks to close companies house will post this in the Gazette noted below. OP details on objecting are noted here:

When we receive your application, we will confirm that it has been completed correctly and publish it in the Gazette. There are 3 Gazettes:

• the London Gazette - for companies incorporated in England and Wales
• the Edinburgh Gazette - for companies incorporated in Scotland
• the Belfast Gazette - for companies incorporated in Northern Ireland

If there are no objections to strike off, the company will be struck off the register once the 2 months mentioned in the notice has passed. A second notice will be published in the Gazette, which means the company will not legally exist anymore (it will have been ‘dissolved’). If you owe late filing penalties to Companies House, we will usually accept the dissolution and allow the company to close without paying the fine.

Get the judgement bumped up to the high court bailiffs asap and get them to enforce (assuming the company has any assets,)

If the company doesn't have assets to cover the debt, it's fairly academic whether they're still registered or not.

I’m aware he has a van which I assume must be in the company name as he paid for it using the Covid scheme available to businesses. 

Lots of tools. Would these be classed as company owned. I’ll take a guess he paid for then through the company.

I was seeking confirmation that the company is looking to be struck off. Other notices also get posted in the LG.

Hi, yes the company is requesting to be struck off. They applied for this 10 days after judgement was made against them by the court in my favour.

Have you objected? Though if the business has no assets then it's a futile exercise in any event.

Then you've done as much as you are able to. At least you have stopped the individual concerned from rising from the ashes like a phoenix. Burying the past in the process.
