Reply to: What you can find out about a director on Companies House

[VectraMan]

When accountant setup up Ltd co I used their office as the registered address so very disappointed to see a residential address as "Correspondence Address"! I am sure I told them not to do this and I signed up for postal forwarding @£100 (?ish?) per annum, so I was wondering why I had never been charged it. Grrrrr

Registered office is for the company. You can now set up a service address for the director, but that's not the same thing.

residential addresses shouldn't be shown

My residential address is on there, as is the month and year of my birth (but not the date - phew).

Searching for me by name shows my current address and previous address from ten years hence, though as that was a different company it doesn't connect the two as the same person.

I looked up the band members of my fav band this way. Using their production companies of which the band members are directors. Of the band most were registered via various management, accountants, legal team etc addresses except one member who just uses he own main residential address. Only a bit of fun for me really. But since they all have multiple addresses in multiple countries, and where these are is mostly easily determined from the fan network I don't think any attempt to hide their addresses is worth the hassle.

This. Except the changes are visible so if it's ever been registered at your home address you're screwed.

I fixed this by registering with my accountant and then moving house.....

Bit drastic but I admire your resolve!

Register your company at your accountant so your address won't be on there. Apart from that nothing else you can do.

The light dawns on the uninitiated from time to time so plenty of threads about it here.

We can make a few educated guesses about you and MF from your company Limp 'n' Tubby Pole Chokers Ltd.

Are they both Limp 'n' Tubby, or they both in possession of a singular specialist skill?

The vast majority of information registered with us is available on the public register.
Some information (for example, residential addresses and full dates of birth) aren’t
part of the public register, but are shared with specified public authorities and credit
reference agencies (CRAs).

Someone once kindly tried to get a £250K loan off the back of my ltd. The bank in questions spotted it and sent me a letter to ltd's registered address warning me. It wasn't even a bank I had ever had previous dealings with.

Wow, it only takes a few of those to sneak through and you could be retiring to Panama in next to no time. I sense a plan B.

I understand the need for directors to be subject to scrutiny, but surely they could make it a little harder for people to get all that data?
