Objection / strike off

[Philipmcg]

Ltd company applied for strike off but there was objection put in . The process was put on hold til 2nd July . No letter has came from hmrc regarding anyone putting objection in . Does this mean the strike off will happen?? Company has no director in place so can’t check with companies house as they will only give this info to director

Does the Company owe any Creditors?
If so we’re all of these informed before applying for strike off?

 

[Philipmcg]

Bbl and yes all creditors were informed

 

[DWS]

Then it was probably the bank that objected, I am sure one of the IP’s on here will know more and be able to advise better than me but it may take a while for the strike off to go through if the bank keeps objecting.

But no letters have came in from hmrc to say objections . On letter received in jan it said strike off action suspended until 02/07/23 after which it will continue unless a further objection is received

HMRC do not send letters out about a strike off they come from Companies House, have you checked the Company on CH to see the latest filings and updates?
If you owe money to Creditors then you must expect them to object the strike off, how long for may depend on how much you owe

The objecting Creditor would issue their objection to Companies House because the procedure is now controlled by the Registrar. The company itself may well never get a copy of the Creditor objection. The Creditor can typically object for 6 months and has to decide if they want to petition for the company to be wound up and placed into Compulsory Liquidation. If it goes into Compulsory Liquidation then the former Directors are likely to have to answer questions from the Official Receiver at the Insolvency Service.

I dont understand this continous objection by Banks when there is a BBL in place - there is legislation in place to investigate Directors for BBL wrongdoing even if company has been dissolved.

The Insolvency Service don't have to go down the expensive liquidation route and can procede to recovery procedures against the Director where serious fraud is in involved.

Sorry to hi jack this post but any answers would be appreciated. My business had its Gazette Notice on 06/06/23 and then yesterday I received a letter saying that the previously advised objection that CH had received ( i never received a letter ) had been withdrawn and the strike off will recommence immediately. As the only possible creditor ever owed money by the business was HMRC would it have been them to object and now remove the rejection. Also as it is just recommencing as stated in letter and the initial Gazette date was the 06/06/23 how long or when would you expect the Dissolution to be granted.

Give Companies House a call and they should be able to tell you who objected. If there are now no objections the company should be dissolved in the next few months.

What is the concern if there is a delay before the company is struck off? It would likely have been struck off anyway if accounts were not filed. In that case there seems no advantage in applying to strike off. The end result would be the same.

Even if the company is struck off there is an option for a creditor to apply for the company to be reinstated. There are certain conditions which need to apply for such an application to succeed.

I thought they always refused to say who objected?

I thought they always refused to say who objected?

We thought our old company was struck off when applied in 2019. It was only this year that we noticed there was an objection so we emailed companies house and they replied 6 days later saying it was hmrc. It appears they have no issue revealing the info. Although this is hmrc so don’t know if it’s different for joe bloggs Ltd..

D Of T response after being asked the question when will strike off be unblocked and allowed to proceed when a BBL is in place

'The Government will remove its objection when it receives confirmation via the lender that Bounce Back Loan has been repaid or the Lender confirms the objection can be removed for another reason for example as part of an agreement with a vulnerable borrower'
