  • HCEO potential visit

    I have had a letter from an HCEO (dated 09/04/14) giving notice to pay a debt belonging to a Ltd Co (i am director) that has ceased trading (broke) and awaitng strike off at CH. The deadline to pay or make arrangement was 22/04/14. We have written (recorded del) to the HCEO with copies of accounts and a Stat Declaration (signed by local solicitor) that the items in the house (the co reg address) are all owned by me & my wife and not the Ltd Co. We have had no correspondence from the HCEO. My question is .... Should I do any more and do they have to given any further notice of attendance? Thanks.

    I would guess they will still attend to see for themselves you are telling the truth. If there are any vehicles outside they will be fair game for seizure - I would suggest you have copies of ownership available to counter this. As he will be attending a residential address he has no automatic right of entry and you are fully within your rights to deny him entry. He will have no option but to return the Writ to the Judgment Creditor.

        Did you give any personal guarantees over this debt?

            Hi Debt Camel,
            Thanks for the reply.

            No, i never knew about it until yesterday when i received a letter of enforcement. The debt is for fees from a company called Brunel Franklin for mis sold PPi on a no win no fee basis.....I never received a penny so natrually assumed no fee was eligible. The CCJ they issued was at my previous address in 2013 but i had moved house before it was issued. The first i knew was yesterday when the said CCJ from Brunel had been upgraded to High Court.

              I have been considering applying for an Administration order through the County Court just to stop any action

                Do your total debts, not just this one, come to less than £5k? Administration Orders work well if you meet all the criteria: http://debtcamel.co.uk/debt-options/...tration-order/
