What are Company Liquidators most afraid of?

[Lesson268]

I am working with a liquidator who are not exactly going the extra mile to investigate a company that owes me a lot of money, where i believe there is fraud involved or certainly director misconduct. What is the liquidator most afraid of, or how can i get them to do their job properly? Bad publicity? Would the liquidator be worried if i get the Police involved, as this could be considered criminal?

A company that falls in hard times because no one buys its products etc is not a criminal act. What crimes do you think have taken place

The OP is owed thousands, and thinks the director/s have deliberately removed funds from the business in order to evade their responsibilities, and that the whereabouts of the missing money was not originally followed up by the liquidator.

The director is not responding to liquidator enquiries about the missing money

Well then in that case it appears that perhaps the liquidators need to involve HMRC as well, who can pursue the matter through legal channels. If they believe there is tax fraud, HMRC can wield considerably more powers than the liquidators, and can take steps to investigate the director's personal affairs.

I'm sorry this is still going on and you are nowhere near a resolution.
