Hi,
It is my understanding that where a director applies to Companies House to strike their company off the register, without having dealt properly with it's debts, it is likely that creditors will lodge an objection to the voluntary strike off.
Anyone know if I have this right and would there be any good reason for the creditor (FC) not to bother?
Thanks

Anyone know if I have this right and would there be any good reason for the creditor (FC) not to bother? Thanks Creditors should lodge an objection. It requires them to have noticed the strike-off notice (electronically, or by reading pages of boring announcements in The Gazette). It requires that the announcement isn't made on table-tennis/team bonding Friday, where things can get missed, because people are very busy  Note that FC are not the creditor. You, we (collectively) are ... this might explain things.

In answer to the question "Why did FC allow the Voluntary Strike offs to go ahead?"
"We are not always notified when a company is proposing to strike off. Sometimes this does not come to fruition and the proposal is suspended."
So they don't get notified by CH? They don't check the Gazette?
Also, do they seem to be missing the point.. Sometimes this does not come to fruition..... because creditors stop it happening.

This is one of FC's most annoying behaviours. Writing updates like "The borrower's direct debit has been cancelled and we have been unable to contact them to understand why" when just looking at the companies house webpage would tell you they are in administration and a statement of affairs has been posted. I have sometimes e-mailed in directing them to stuff and they say "oh, the relevant team will know". OK, then why isn't it in the update, and why do things like voluntary strike-offs of companies without honouring their debts, happen?

I have done exactly the same and had similar results. I appreciate that they have many late loans to manage but even so the updates and chasing seems poor, especially when CH checks are likely automated.
but hey its not FCs money is it....

It is incredibly easy to set up companies house alerts from their own website. This is available for the general public.
Credit agencies like Experian will send out alerts for any filings or a change in credit score for any firm that has been credit checked using their service. This is standard industry stuff.
FC have no excuses for missing strike off notices.
