Company in Vietnam has used my address without my consent

[George2009]

A clothing company in Vietnam has used my address for limited company registration with Companies House completely without my consent.

How do I go about getting this removed?

Many thanks

I am afraid I can't answer your question, but I wonder how many others read that and dashed to the Companies House website to check our postcode!

Out of interest how did you find out did you start getting correspondence related to the company

We started to receive spurious correspondence from a company addressed to the Vietnamese outfit’s limited company name and then today on official letter from companies house also addressed to the limited company. On checking the register it’s clear this limited company has used our address. We are planning to contact companies house directly this morning to see what can be done but who are they going to believe?

Have a look at the link below to form RP07 which can be used to apply for a change of RO address where the company has no authority to use that address

I would much suspect a UK company over a newly formed Vietnamese company.

Bloody hell, I just checked on myself there after reading this thread and it shows me as being a company sec. of a company I've never heard of from 2013 to 2017. The spelling of my name is incorrect but the address is mine :-(

Having been through this process I can confirm that Companies House did not believe me when I informed them that a company had been fraudulently registered at my residential address. It took six months before they removed my address from the register (although it was still on the incorporation documents). I had to send proof that I lived at the address, whilst the company itself had to prove nothing. It only got changed because the company didn't reply to the communication that Companies House sent, I dread to think how much longer I would have had to wait if they had responded!

We the company couldn't respond, as the correspondence would go to you address
