LTD company struck off - Bank account seized

[nablak]

Hi,

My LTD company was struck off for failure to provide its 1st annual report.

My business account was seized Bona Vacantia (it has roughly £2500).

I now have a waiver letter from Bona Vacantia.

I would like to get my bank account back, complete my return. How do I proceed? Which is the cheapest way to get this done? Searching online I get varied information and some people are paying £1000 to sort this in court fees. I want to know the cheapest way of getting this done myself (only have 1 year annual report to submit).

EDIT: If i submit an adminstrative restoration with companies house, will that get my money back? How does one submit a confirmation statement or annual return when my accounts with HMRC and Companies hosue have been deleted?

I've done plenty of searching but it hasnt made it any clearer. Anyway Im assuming once i get the restoration the bank account will magically re-appear. I believe theres also an option to not restore the ltd company and get my money back because its under £3000, but the cost of this method is a bit unclear. So im trying to work out which is the cheapest method.

Days of googling and reading forum posts have not made this any clearer.

I'm far too busy at the moment to dig any deeper. Obviously you are not, otherwise you wouldnt spend time posting sarcastic replies to strangers on an internet forum.

I wasn't receiving the letters. There was a mix up with the virtual office service I was using. By the time I got them to find the letters, it was too late. Companies house move pretty fast on these things.

I don't know how busy you are, or any other excuses for getting into this state, but a five second google turned up this as a starter for 10. And Jessica posts on here quite regularly incidentally.

He won't be happy with that article either. Look at the last line.

For future reference, you can set up an alert with CoHo for any UK company so that you get told when anything gets filed for the company. I have one for my company and a few others that I'm interested in to see what has been filed and when.

Me too. I have the definitive answer, but I'm not going to share it now.
