Hello
I have an issue with N Lincs Council and Rossendales re. non domestic rates.
History-
In Sept 2011 I registered a Limited Company and started trading out of an industrial unit ( also the registered address ).
The Limited company traded as a courier service and had no assets, it's vehicles where hired and I used my own laptop.
No personal guarantees where given and in June 2012 the company ceased to trade. I vacated the premises, but left the registered office at that address.
Companies House have tried to strike it off, but I believe HMRC have objected.
On 19/07/2014 I received a letter from Rossendales addressed to the Limited Company c/o of myself at my home address -
Notice of Enforcement
It was a notice dated 16/07/14, stating that there was a liability order granted for £6629.72 on 24/10/2012 payment by 01/08/2014. With the usual threats to seize belongings if not paid by that date.
On the 21/07/14 I sent a form DS01 to Companies House to dissolve the company.
On 21/07/14 I obtained a copy of the liability order from N Lincs Council and informed them of the above facts and that I that should not send a bailiff to my home address as there are no assets - they stated that the bailiff will carry out enforcement.
On 21/07/14 I informed Rossendales of the above information, they stated that enforcement would be carried out.
I have no concerns at all if the bailiffs attend whilst I am at home and they will be sent away with appropriate advice, the thing that does concern me is that if they attend whilst I am out - bearing in mind the very hot weather we have and that my wife and family have doors and window open to keep them cool - and the bailiffs manage to gain access what are my options for removing them and any distraints they think they might have.
Thanking you all in anticipation of some good ( previous experienced ) advice.
