Advice on reclaiming debts from a limited co- anyon?

[cabbageroses]

I am owed a few hundred by a company which has it appears gone bust- or they are simply ignoring me.

I have done all the usual- offered to accpet installments etc etc but no reply.

The business is a 1-person publishing business and is registered as a limited company at Companies House.

Anyone know what their liability would be for debt? if it's going to cost me £40 to kick off a small claims order then I won't bother if they are not liable anyway.

If they have gone bust then you should have received notification from their receiver. As a creditor you are entitled to go to the creditors meeting etc and eventually you will be told how much if any of your money you will get. It sounds like they just don't want to pay you, so pick up the phone and call them or leave a message as if you are a new potential client. You will know what to do then by their response.

Register with the receiver/ liquidator wait years and get 5p in the pound is my experience.

legover- that won't work- it's a one-person business and she is not answering her phone.

I provided a service on a freelance basis and she simply is not paying up .

If its a limited company it doesn't matter if they have 1 or 1 million employees. If you have no contract/order and supplied no 'goods' then small claims court or write it off to experience.

Legover- thanks- but it doesn't answer my question. I f I use the small claims court and she has no money as a business, is she liable as an individual, that's the point.

Not if your agreement was with the limited company unless you can prove she traded while insolvent.
