Unpaid Invoices - But Rather Complicated

[tarbera]

I was operating through an offshore

Well, to complicate things, I was operating through an offshore (don't ask ), being based in Cyprus meant that their correspondence was sporadic to say the least. This meant the liquidators couldn't deal with me directly.

There was 12+ of us on site so I was kept well up to date through the other guys.

At the end of the liquidation, contractors were offered 2p in the £ but I didn’t hear a thing from my offshore who have now dissolved themselves (as they do).

Did you pay your VAT on your invoices raised to UK taxman.?

No idea. I was effectivley an emplopyee of this firm so no involvement in raising invoices etc. I simply completed a weekly timesheet.

So the invoicing chain was you > offshore company > agency > client?

And you hope that the client is suddenly going to pay you (who they have no legal relationship with) rather than anyone else in the chain that they do have a legal relationship with?

Good luck.

As I said earlier, it was a punt sending in the invoices, was expecting client to say either they had paid monies to liquiidator or simply that they're not legally obliged to pay. Was well shocked when the replied saying they would pay, now they just saying it's complicated and will take longer than originally thought.

They haven't yet said, sod off, wer'e not paying.

Not asking

Like we said, probably worth a punt but we can't imagine anything will come of it.
