    Advice needed please

    I had a customer take my LTD company to court. Due to a complete mix up with the dates, i missed the court date and the claimant was awarded the amount in full. (there is no way this would have been the case if I had attended)
    Please could someone advise what to do.
    The company has ceased trading
    The company has no money and no assets
    The court hearing was on the 20th June and I am now worried they will have put it to the High Court and I am going to get a visit.
    Looking online will a N244 form be of any advantage to me. ? I am going to Liquidate the company but am concerned about the timescale and the visits I may get before it goes through.

    Any advice would be gratefully received

    If the judgement is against your limited company, it is against the limited company that enforcement action will be taken.

    Have you told the claimant that the company has ceased trading and will be put in liquidation?

      When we tried to close the company through companies house, an objection was raised and this turned out to be from the claimant.
      I have had no contact with the claimant.
      Should they be made aware that the company is to be liquidated ?

          Ok, should this be done by letter ?
          Would the N244 form be of any advantage to me ?
