Company fraud

[Mottie]

My lawyer? Or just ignore them.

Does your lawyer work for free then?

Ignore them?

So if you ignore them, they will obtain judgement in default, they will then likely fast track it to high court, so they can instruct a sherif to enforce rather than bailiffs. They will recover your vans and equipment and a lawyer will charge you around 3k to get the judgement set aside.

or you have to take time off working to turn up and defend the action.

Nonsense.

iNothing further ever came from it

That figures.

Yes companies house have to be cautious when someone tries to remove a company from the register, fraud works both ways

But it would be relatively simple to carry out identity/money laundering type checks when someone sets up a company

The radio report I listened to, companies house said they were only a library and couldn’t act. But there does appear to be exceptions...

UK’s ‘first ever’ successful prosecution for false company information

A company director has been fined for deliberately falsifying information about his firms in what is thought to be the first-ever conviction of its kind.

Why would he need one, he’s an expert.

 

[transam]

’Can’. Any examples?

As said listen to the radio prog pod cast and than you can argue with them

One bloke had a loan registered at his address apparently not an isolated incident

The question you can answer is why are people bothering to pay company house to reg a bussiness at an address that they have nothing to do with ???!

What is the point

Potential fraud ?

Or are they doing it just for a laugh ?

Oh and wind yer neck in and jog on

And I might hasten to add government have recognised there is an issue

And there is draft legislation in the pipe line to combat the issue ?

Any one got a problem with the above take it up with the BBC
Radio 4 money box programme

 

[transam]

Any way noseall there was an issue discussed on woman’s hour yesterday on the radio that you may have a particular interest in

Good to see government have recognised an issue.

Is companies house part of gov UK ?

 

[motorbiking]

Part of their brief is to ensure information is accurate. The problem is, they don’t know who filed the info, so can’t enforce. Unless the person is stupid enough to use a gov ID. They really should stop accepting paper submission.

 

[Vinty]

It is necessary to have documented proof that the people in the house and the house / property are in no way connected to the company to show to bailiffs when they arrive on the door step.

Whatever happened to the principle of innocent until proven guilty.

 

[Vinty]

Sounds like hard work

It’s easier if they just take your stuff and then let you bring an action against them for conversion/release. That is not straight forward. In the mean time they get paid. As an interpleader bringing an action, you must prove your case. They of course know all this and will be drilling your locks out to gain access to your property no matter how much you claim their order is nonsense.
