Absolutely furious - threatened with an unlimied fine for trying to do the right thing.

having applied to have the company set up by Mr Banjo closed as it is just a nightmare, I have now received this information.

As the company is required to remain on the register, the proposed strike off action has been discontinued.  The failure to file accounts within the statutory time allowed is a criminal offence but I will defer any prosecution action for 28 days from the date  of this letter.

If the company record is not brought up-to-date by that time, the directors may face criminal proceedings.  Conviction for this offence will result in a criminal record and a potential unlimited fine for each document not delivered on time.

Please note that this deferral of prosecution action does not extend or alter the original statutory filing deadline.  As the accounts are already late, a civil late filing penalty will automatically be incurred when they are received and accepted at Companies  House.  The amount of the penalty increases with the length of delay in delivery and is separate to any criminal proceeding being considered against the directors.  Failure to comply with the filing requirements of the 2006 Companies Act in consecutive years  will result in the penalty being doubled for the current year’s accounts.


So whilst I battle trying to make sure that I am getting the right information to Companies House - which I have been trying to do for several weeks, Mr Banjo who has the company money in his account - seems to be untouchable.    Curse the day I met you Mr Banjo.
