A company who owes me a small amount of money since last summer is still trading though they told me they were going under due to a bad dept owed to them. At the time i checked on company check. It said proposal to strike off. Ive recently checked CH docs and they say proposal to strike off. Strike off suspended. Proposal to strike off. Strike off suspended now proposal to strike off voluntarily. I have found out they have never filled accounts. Still trading as same name including Ltd status charge VAT? And do this all the time using lots of small sub contractors and not paying. Can i get HMRC to check them out as don't believe they have filled any vat returns or company returns

Name of the company, please.

It is probably HMRC that are blocking the strike off due to unpaid taxes, so they will be well aware.

Erm...I think that you might be better off pursuing them in other ways? Check out the links on the right hand side? HMRC aren't going to do your due diligence.
