    Bounce Back Loan Advice Needed

    Treat with contempt any system that treats you with contempt. Innocent OP has been trawled by an indiscriminate net meant to catch a different type of fish, and now OP is stuck in a limbo he/she ought not to be in. Sod the waste of space skins that made the critical decisions leading to this...

    Bounce Back Loan Advice Needed

    In your position, I would do the following: 1. Update the shareholder information to show the sole shareholder as "Share(s) Abandoned". 2. If unwise enough to have put my home address on the public record at some point, ensure it is now fully removed/replaced with something else (harmless to...

    Advice sought part II (this is where things get interesting)

    Have your plans to move there changed, following your separation? If so then how about surrendering your US citizenship and the liabilities that came with it?

    PAYE Debt - No longer trading, no assets

    Where is the 3rd company getting the money from to make the repayments? Where did the £6k come from for the doorstep payment? You started off by saying here's a lesson on how not to run affairs, and I think you meant the but about the 3rd company getting in to debt through your neglect, but...

    What rules please? Penalties under what legislation?

    Directors Loan Account Out of Hand

    You are getting a lot of advice about how to manage a type of situation, but what have you done so far to establish that this is actually the situation you are in? Over what period of time do they think you accumulated the DLA? You moved from one accountant to another, and that is when things...

    Dissolving Ltd company whilst VAT investigations ongoing

    They can't object if they aren't owed any money. The O.P. said there are no debts, and if he holds that belief then there is no duty to notify them of the dissolution.

    Protecting a company name

    How amusing. You seem to have some super powers that enable you to look past the words a person uses and see their actual hidden meaning, whereas I am only able to see the words themselves. If only the question had been posed in plain English... Try reading the actual wording of the question...

    Protecting a company name

    If you are trading as, for example, Burgundy Flanges, then register Burgundy Flanges Limited as a dormant company. That will cost as little as £13 per year, and would stop a direct rip-off. Then, if possible and if you are prepared to spend a bit more, register burgundyflanges.com and...

    Partnership and no signature

    How would you prove he was even aware of the existence of the contract? Whether he was aware or not, if he were to say he was unaware - and it can't be proven otherwise - he cannot be deemed to be party to it under any argument.

    Another insolvency question

    It might be too late to be worth you bothering to get a virtual address at this point. They already have the house address, and will definitely try it if they don't get a scent elsewhere. As somebody else pointed out, it might also interfere with the imminent dissolution of the company so not...

    Another insolvency question

    Have I understood correctly, that you were stupid enough to list your in-laws' home address in connection to the company? If so, then if you haven't already done this, you should warn your in-laws what might happen, and tell them not to open the door. It's all well and good some people telling...

    Pursued for funds I didn't personally guarantee

    Is that literally all it says? It seems to me that not only is it too vague, but that the demand was improperly issued, because you and the other man did not receive any value. The company may have received value, but the note doesn't so much as mention the company, and I fail to see how -...

    SpongeBob without debt?

    HMRC would not seem to be a creditor given what was described. VAT will be paid up, company was trading at a "huge loss", so although a CT return may be due now or soon, as may be a Companies House return, it sounds as though no CT would be owed. Owner was apparently lending money to company to...

    Liability Investigation

    I think in that scenario, the prosecution would not be able to establish any guilt beyond reasonable doubt. I'm not commenting on whether retention of records after the company's dissolution is wise or not; the thing that piqued my curiosity is whether there are actually any legal requirements...
