Help, government seized £4.5k as Bona Vancantia

I accept that through inaction/obliviousness that I'm wholly responsible for what's happened. That doesn't stop me from thinking that it's dumb. I'm just trying to minimize the damage at this point - some people on this forum have been very helpful in this regard and I'm grateful.

FWIW, you won't be the first, nor the last caught by this.

If NLUK seems troll like to you, it's only because it's the {n}th time he's seen this/similar style posts where an OP is completely oblivious to how their company works (it's your responsibility to manage, it's the company's bank account etc), and expectations of what an accountant will do for them.

Operating a Ltd company is not difficult however its also not something for the unwary. The law expects that a director has the skills knowledge and experience required to the office and as you've seen, is largely unsympathetic if you come up short.
