Pathetic little minds, certainly unprofessional.
When I get to speak to the right person at C House or a solicitor, I will get a professional answer, the correct answer, the opposite that I am getting on here.
Why do you people put yourselves down?! You are on here to promote business I would have thought. NOT to be petty.
The answers you were given were entirely professional, given by people who have run companies giving advice on issues like this for years, people who are not in a position where thier own company is likely to be dissolved becouse of thier unprofessional conduct regarding adhering to UK business law.
You were advised to contact Companies House in order to resolve the problem as soon as you could.
It was YOUR responsibility to do so in the first place. YOU failed to do that. Then, since companies house do not just send out these communications out of the blue, you clearly ignored their correspondence for MONTHS before posting here.
The rules are this: YOU are responsible for filing returns. It is not the case that rules appliy to CH dictating how they should deal with you, they have a range of options available to them, they may decide on any one of those. Often, if you are polite, decent, honest and make some effort to comply, they will actyually help you out.
But with an attitude like the one you have displayed here, coupled with your non-complance in the first instance I'd wager will react in precisley the same way as the other finance professionals have done here, they'll throw the book at you! .
Please do come back and let us know what they decide.
