I was owed some money by an estate agent. I had a CCJ but they made themselves insolvent to avoid the debt.
They changed the name of the limited company, then immediately made themselves insolvent.
Seems they are still trading under the same name, but as a sole trader at a different address.
Any reason why they should change the company name immediately prior to making themselves insolvent? Maybe to avoid detection, or a completely innocent reason? Is it legal to trade under the same name, same business, but different address when the director of the insolvent company is still running the business? Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 suggests not.
What can I do about this, either to enforce my CCJ or make life a bit more interesting for the scumbag?
Thanks, Debs x
