I am sole director and sole employee of a limited company.
I received an invoice from a large UK-wide office products supplier addressed to my company at its registered office. The invoice amount is zero, as the goods were paid for in advance (a modest three figure sum). However the delivery address shows my company name followed by an address I have no knowledge about in a UK city with which my company has no connection. Of course, this made me very suspicious.
I called Companies House in Cardiff and checked that no change had been made to the company details, and decided to follow the option on their website and sent in a PR1 Opt-in form for their protected online filing scheme.
I have e-mailed the supplier to disclaim any connection with the delivery address and the supply they made. I confirmed this e-mail with a formal letter with company heading.
What else might I do? Other companies may be making similar supplies without my knowledge. And what about reference agencies, assuming that someone is trying to establish a credit record for a "branch" of my company at their address?
Many thanks for any advice.
Regards,
Dieter
