Cost effective way to shut down a recently set up LTD
Yes that's helpful thank you Anika Is that really all? Sounds simple enough. The accountants seem to be asking for quite a bit of money to do it. I've not traded through the company yet, there's only been the accountancy charges but I've not even entered those in the accountants software yet...- blu

Sue agency for not having schedule of work signed off
Hahaha the large font convinced me. :tongue Ok thanks all for your advice, as you can imagine it's not what I would've liked to hear mostly because I can't see how these agencies are allowed to get away with such conduct, but you're more experienced and I respect your advice. Even tho you're...- blu

I see, so 1) 2 week notice for termination is useless because I've not actually started work 2) I've not incurred any business loss so can't claim on that basis 3) handing in my notice was my decision so I don't have a case to sue them in that respect. Wow nice these guys are well covered...- blu

Thanks Scruff, it's a pleasure to hear your advice because I'm learning. :D It's true, I certainly don't know the law well enough otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation perhaps. I would appreciate if you could expand more on why I should move on based on your understanding of the law.- blu

Really? I'd be interested to know why please. They effectively lied to me, reassuring me everything was good on the clients side, to get me to resign. I guess I don't understand why it's ok to lie and take risks on other people's expense.- blu

Thanks for all the useful replies :D I'll try SueEllen's suggestion and avoid going to financial ombudsman as GillsMan suggests :wink Regarding the letter I send them asking them for compensation, do I explicitely mention how much money I want to claim from them and justify it or can I leave it...- blu

Cost effective way to shut down a recently set up LTD
Thanks for both your replies. Indeed I did keep the company going for 2 months just to see if I land another contract. I have got some offers but have decided to go with a perm offer hence the reason for this post. No doubt the accountants can sort everything out, but they charge and that's...- blu

Sue agency for not having schedule of work signed off
Yes I did forget it and looked for 2 months and the search is coming to an end, so now I have some time to go back and find a way to claw back some actual realized loss as well as unrealized opportunity cost. It's more about the agent not doing their job properly, misguiding me to resign when...- blu

Hi all, As I explained in another thread ... in May I went for an interview for a contractor role, got accepted, agent sent over a signed contract, I signed & returned it and they asked me to resign from my then current perm position, so I gave my 30 day notice. Monday of my last week at my...- blu
