Ah, the honorable MP for just about every f**king constituency in the country...

[tino]

same happened to me, it turned out the reason was because my co. didnt have a credit record as it never had any credit cards or loans etc.

so, i took out the mobile contract with the account as

my co. name
my co. address

setup up the account coming from my personal account (for credit checking reasons) and a few days later called up and changed the DD from my personal account to my co account.

that was with vodafone and the guy on the phone suggested doing it this way, on vodafone's accounts they do this for all self employed people apparently.. now, all mail and bills are addressed to my co. and the DD comes from my co. account

Good idea Chef, I ended up just buying a PAYG one

Ring your mobile phone company and request an address change.
Insert your company name between your name and the house name/number.

That's what I did. There, all fixed.

It's farcical - we had everything they asked for and there was a fair wedge in the company bank account.

We went in looking for 2 iphones and was told "computer says no". I was furious.

Yes - absolutely the same!!!

I had everything they wanted, and also had a fair wedge in the company!!

My hubby got one noe problem, but they said no to me and said they couldn't tell me why!!

So I contacted the credit agency for companies, paid £15 for a company credit check, and never heard back from the fu*k8ng ba*tards!!!!!

I was fu*king furious

[MPwannadecentincome]

I hardly claim for anything these days!!

I did my SJD spreadsheet for this VAT quarter last night, and all that comes out of my company is: -

Accountant (£95)
Mileage (about £300 per month)
Wages (£900ish)
and whatever divis I take (normally about £4k)


That's balls isn't it?! I used to claim for loads more! I can't even get my phone or internet out of there now!

What about the company mobile phone?
Membership fees for professional bodies - ok that is probably an annual charge.

O2 had no problem giving away 4 iphones to some chappie who somehow got hold of my company's document lost in the post.

£200 Moat cleaning
£100 Lawn mowing - it does take an hour and a half!

[Bill]

what about home office. Its currently £3 per week (i think). Ask you accountact why its not on there, its a no questions asked benefit

[tino]

Well I tried a while ago to get a company phone, and they refuse me! Said the credit check had failed!!

I sent off all the relevant forms to find out why, but never heard anything back. I think it might have been cause I'd been late paying my vat a couple of times or something.

So I never bothered again.

Internet - my hubby has sorted all that out, and it's in HIS company name!

They have to be registered to your company name. And mine aren't.

why not?
