    Is he registered at Companies House? As a Ltd company or a sole trader? (I assume Ltd, but you never know).

    Whether or not he is still trading under the same company is irrelevant, it's whether that company has any assets or not that count.

    You can't touch him personally so you are chasing company assets, get his accounts from companies house and find out what the company has, it's all there for you to download.

    Any further escalation at this time will cost you good money, throwing it away after bad.

    Watch "the sheriffs are coming" at 9.15am on bbc1! People with very similar issues! They took it to the high Court to get their money.

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    is a good idea

    Our accounts mention the bank we use although whether that is normal/required or just our accountant I don't know. Might be worth a couple of £ to companies house to get the accounts etc.

    If you paid him originally by cheque/bac I'd expect your bank to be able to tell you which bank he uses.

    When I didn't get payment for a ccj once, I contacted the companies trade association, who forced them to pay- pay or we will kick you out, but I'm guessing this small company won't belong to one. If he's local enough, I think you need to find out who he hires his stuff from , speak to people who deal with him, ask his neighbours.im sure the bailiffs knew what they were doing.
  • Yes he is, as a ltd company. What do I do with that information?

  • I paid him by bank transfer (is that what you mean by BAC?) but it was in his name, so I think it was his personal account rather than business account. And as it's a ltd company his personal bank details are no good to me.

    wouldn't that make him personally liable?
  • OK; from Companies house I have his latest accounts and annual return, indicating company shares worth £5K and a range of assets including tangible assets. So what does this mean for my pursuit of him via county bailiffs???

    Why is he not paying you?
    What has he got to say?
