Thanks to one and all for your views and observations, but it looks like this one has run its course!
I am however, still after the company.
Baring in mind the complexities of pinning the guy down, I am going after the Ltd. Company via invoicing. The Al Capone method.
He said from the outset (witnessed) that he would pay my legal expenses and and invoicing contractor relationship had already been established.
Invoices have been going in for the last three months, laying the foundations to send in the debt collectors with a Statutory Demand and a threat to wind the company up.
Anyone got experience with this?
No but I do know a little about it
bear in mind you could end up spending few of grand and get nothing back so be sure you want to do that before you procede
First step is to go on the companies house website and make sure the limited company has not been dissolved many a dodgy businessmen will do that and set up a similar but new company. Once dissolved you can't go after them for bad debts effectively it removes all liability for past debts. If it hasn't been dissolved but is possibly in the process then you must lodge an objection to the dissolution on the grounds of debt liability. If the company is still trading then go to step 2
The second step is always to get a county court judgement that says he owes you the money and that can take 12 months or more once you have that you can ask the courts to recover the debt.
Thirdly if he doesn't pay up then you go to debt recovery
The fourth step is a winding up petition but requires as many creditors as possible and can cost from a few thousand to upwards of a million quid with barristers fees etc.
