OcUK Private Detectives... I need your help!

Right, so 2blue4u, what do you suggest I do instead?

You seem to be very willing to point out all these problems but no solutions... any ideas?

You're trying to extract dosh from the individual but your contract was with, and your court action was against, the limited company. These are two quite separate entities in law.

If there is no identifiable asset held by the company then you're on a loser.

If you think the individual has the funds or some assets (and you think you can convince the Court that he's liable), then take Court action against him.

At the moment you're running in circles and not getting any closer to finding recompense. All this 'research' about the individual is pointless unless and until you get judgement against him.

Well firstly, you are making the assumption that the company has no assets. Why do you seem so sure of this? If he's ripped people off, perhaps he's quite into evading paying VAT and paid for personal things using the company's name. Although he has failed to submit his accounts this year so I don't know whether the courts can therefore just assume everything in his possession is potentially a company asset.

I understand the Ltd company is a separate entity from him, though he is the CEO and the only shareholder, and therefore has sole responsibility. People can't just go round setting up Ltd companies with no assets & stealing money from the public and not have any personal liability, there must be laws to prevent this, which is basically what I'm pursuing via the courts.

If it does turn out in the end that you're right, then fair enough, but I think I should still try and track down the contact details of the CEO of the company that owes me money. That only makes sense, surely... :confused:
 
:confused:

If the company actually DOES have assets, how am I wasting my time? :rolleyes:

Ignore him. He wants to feel relevant too and post something, anything will do it seems.

As to your question. I couldn't find anything new. Will keep digging whilst having lunch.

That's the impression I got too. I'm not surprised at all though; there always seems to be at least one troll per thread in GD. :(

Thanks mate I appreciate it :)
 
Nothing that good to add apart from the 11 Murray Street looks to be one of those companies that you can pay to have a posh London address and forward your mail to you.

Thats probably why the original 'serving' failed as I don't think those companies will accept stuff like that.

because you seem intent on researching the individual. The individual is NOT the company. You have judgement against the company so that is who you should be pursuing.

Papers to be served upon a limited company HAVE to be served at the Registered Office address of the company as held by Companies House. It doesn't matter if the company are trading from the address or not, whether they used to be there or not, whether the present occupant is happy with it or not. If all else fails, then papers can be taped to the door of the property.

a troll - lol!

Maybe I own a company that has been facilitating debt recovery matters such as yours on behalf of solicitors and businesses for 16 years - including a world-famous outfit based in Stoke.

Maybe my company deals with 30+ such cases per day.

Maybe I might know the difference between a limited company and an individual because it doesn't appear that you do.

Maybe I've been trying to help you but you don't appear to be READING my posts.

Maybe I'm a troll.

Maybe.....

And then what? I'll win the court judgement by default? I've already done that. I used an alternative address. The serving notice was not returned and therefore in the eyes of the law it was served. If it was the wrong address it would have been sent back, but it wasn't.

Don't patronise me. I know the difference, but there's nothing wrong with trying to get in touch with the director of the company I'm trying to pursue. Especially when it's obvious that the company itself doesn't want to communicate with anybody. The whole purpose of this thread is so I can get hold of the guy who runs the company and speak to him. The director is the face of the company and can speak on its behalf. Why does this concept seem so absurd to you? :rolleyes:

Dude, if you think "no no no you're doing it all wrong, you're wasting your time going round in circles, you don't understand, I own a big company and know so much more than you" is helping, then you need to read about what "helping" actually involves. All you've really done thus far is simply point out that I'm doing something wrong and told me I don't know what the difference between an individual and a company is, multiple times. "Helping" should involve offering a plan, and being the grand owner of a huge corporate firm with 30+ similar cases like this a day surely you must know all the steps I should take in order to get my money back, right off the top of your head?

you/the bailiff needs to identify assets of that company.
I'm already trying to do this. How am I supposed to do this without trying to contact the only person I know who runs the company when the company itself has cut communications from everybody? :confused:

So what are you saying? Whoever now lives at the registered address of the company now has to deal with everything? Do I have to start a new claim at the court and forfeit my current one?

What are you suggesting I should actually do? :confused:

you'll end up getting sued... Here's hoping.
Maybe I'm a troll.
:D

How much money does this company actually owe you?

You must have invested a lot of time/effort/resource into trying to find this geezer!!

GL, I can't offer anymore assistance than what is on the table already - sorry!
 
You've gone through all this for just over £100 (looking at the warrant thing?) :eek: Fair play I suppose but I'd have found the stress of it all not worth that amount lol.

The thing is, the information provided in the previous posts was from 2008, and if anyone could provide me with an up to date status on who lives at that address that would be enough :)

Well I haven't exactly been stressed out, it's been on the backburner for nearly 6 months and I just thought I'd try and see if this is going to get anywhere :)

You are one persistant mother ****er. Remind me to never borrow money from you! :D

I have housemates from my last year of uni, who owe me and the mrs £240 from collective bills they said they would pay...

I can track them down, I know people who know them and can add her through facebook, but I got sick of calling them and hearing the same old excuses. They live quite north and I am south and they just had a kid when I decided to stop bothering ~6 months roughly.

There were poor excuses for human beings and they would probably need that £240 after having a child though! I ended up thinking of it as paying £240 to never see them again...actually quite worth it :D

Even if you find him he will just laugh at you and tell you to leave him alone, the ltd company rules in this country make that the norm in such cases. You will never see a penny of your money and he is probably already fleasing the next lot with his new hosting company in his wifes name.
