Does anyone know if there is any facility on Companies House website, or anyone else who would provide the data I am looking for;
I am after (on a daily basis) a list of all companies within a certain postcode area who have either overdue accounts or overdue annual returns.
Any help on this most appreciated, I did try the Companies House helpline but they say there is no such facility, though I do remember many years ago working for a company who could run SQL queries on the entire CH database.

You used to be able to obtain a disk with the Companies House data on it although out of date. (certainly not daily I am afraid).

Yep, sure is, but if you can narrow it down to a specific postcode area it becomes fairly manageable!

Thanks Zeno, I was aware of this product...but it doesn't quite fill the requirements which I have, namely to get this data on a daily or at worst weekly basis.

Do you think the company you were working for before were paying for the tape products in items 11 & 12?

Yes, that's the thing. So I need someone who has that daily and can run SQL (or similar) queries on it!!

Away, do you think we are made of money? Dick Turpin had a mask at least.
I doubt you will find anyone who has it and will share it. In fact, they are probably legally prohibited from doing so.

I wasn't expecting anyone on here to have this...maybe just a link or phone number to a data company who do!

I was just kidding with you but I do seriously doubt that anyone that does have this information will provide it to you, at least cost effectively.

I provide this on request for accountants and bookkeepers at the moment by postal town or postcodes and by SIC codes to support telemarketing campaigns :)

If there is so much of it.... then maybe they will.
