Companieshouse Opiniões 

Phoned up these people this morning to confirm a company address details, had to wait ages to get the call answered then when I get through a very snappy male, almost rude, spoke with me to confirm the address. I explained my problem and he just snapped back at me with the same confirmation. I kept my cool and thanked him for his info. I should have told him off really for bad attitude.

I have noticed that this organisation has gone down hill big time, in the last few years and will now not bother to call, writing to them instead.

A long story which I'll attempt to shorten...

I have always worked alone and (from bad advice) I had a business (LTD) bank account with a certain UK bank. The bank never informed me that if I closed said account, all money in that account would then be 'frozen' / taken by Companies House. As an individual (designer), the amount in that account was quite substantial, (especially in these times of no employment!)...
So after nearly two years with a lawyer (apparently 'fighting' my case) and costing me around £1300 in all, I still have not seen any of MY heard-earned money!
[The most recent 'news' I have, is that the Court has 'approved' my claim - and even that was a month ago!]
Meanwhile I remain unemployed and if my remaining (and ever depleting) funds 'run out', my wife and I could effectively become homeless!

{I had once joked that this was as bad as any 'money scam' I might have experienced - but sadly this is not too far from the truth}

shockingly bad. error with website so I cant file accounts. tells me to call the helpline and quote an error code.

call the helpline, given a massive front end pre-recorded speech that irrelevant. then asked to give 'a few short words' what the problem is. I do.
Get told by automated system 'thank you, we are now putting you through to general enquiries'.

Next thing; 'thank you for reaching companies house, we're experiencing a large number of calls. please use the website. goodbye.'

Cheers. 10/10

Wilfully useless. Yet if someone is accidently late with a filing, or cant due to their terrible system, I bet they come down on them like the hammer of Thor.

Would give it zero stars if I could, A company was set up up using my details despite me having no association with the company.
Was only made aware of its existence when I received a letter notifying me that I had been appointed as a director.
Thought it was a scam to begin with, but decided to look into it just to be sure.
Glad I did.
I have now had to speak to two people on the phone and fill out a form to have my details removed from the company which takes 30 days.
Turns out they don’t do any verification checks when people appoint someone, allowing things like this to happen.
I think this is appalling, they should have thorough checks in place to prevent this from happening.
I don’t know how they can get away with this.

We had to register a partnership (LP) for a contract and it needed to be in Scotland. My colleague who normally deals with this type of thing was away and we have to muddle through! We contacted Companies House in Edinburgh and the service and support from Tony and Fiona really went the extra mile and we can't thank them enough. They are a massive credit to Companies House in Scotland.

Crashes on some Barclaycard payment screen - thus stopping me from filing my confirmation. Pathetic!

I had a Court case that I won .The Claimant made a Counterclaim and failed to back it up with Evedence to the Courts.
I won the as the Defendant never turned up in Court
He never paid any money and tried to close the Company down with Dissolution
Later he removed his name from being a Director
The Director sent me a demand for £2080 in a Counterclaim from a false address of another one of his Companies demanding a pay the money into its Bank Account
Again the Director failed to produce any evidence to the Court
Companies House have done nothing about this Director though I sent Court evidence to them
Companies House have a legal duty under the Companies Act 2006
(The Act) Companies House knowingly or recklessly delivering or making a statement to the Registar of Companies that is misleading, false or deceptive is a Criminal Offence under 1112 of the Act can lead to imprisonment a fine or removed from being a Director for a number of years
I was told by Companies House to report it to the Insolvency Services at Birmingham.
Which I did sending a letter along with Court Papers to prove ,That The Director produced a fraudulent Counterclaim and also committed Fraud
They never answered or replied to my letter asking them to investigate the Director and his 3 Companies
Failure to attend Court or give everyone or produce documents can be published with a fine or a prison sentence

in General
Rules
1.1 1.2 1.3. 12.1 12 .2

The Defendant did not produce any evidence to support his Counterclaim or his Fraudulent letter demanding I pay money into another one of his Companies.
I sent another letter to demand that they reply to my Official Complaint and they follow the Government Rules and Laws set to provide Consumers with Human Rights and Laws
It seems they accept anything that Directors send in .and they state they can not be responsible.
If Legal Court and evedence is provided to them legally by Consumers they must accept it as Evedence and must use it against any Director that breaks the Law

I do not even want to give them 1 star. Such a stupid company. I've paid them last year for a 1-year subscription, I did not get any letters from them.

I was not running the company and Later, after a year I had to close down the companies. I asked for my letters from Company House so that I can have an access code to log in to Company House HMRC to close my companies but I am struggling to get them. They took the money and asking for ID, bills to verify the identity from all the partners of your Company. My partners have denied providing their passports. Not sure why CapitalHouse took the money in the first place. Why don't they do credit checks rather than IDs.

Utter load of rubbish of an organisation. Check your post urgent they have been filing late fee CCJ's without any notice during lock down against Government advice. I filed my accounts late due to Covid restrictions of not being able to get to my office and my accountant busy with furlough claims. It was by chance a fellow company in the shared building informed me of this as I would have never have know as I have been in isolation at home due to Covid and illness. Don't worry about how rude they are just remember they are just mere employees who have not the intelligence or guts to run their own business. Unlike us business owners they will will never know the true value of business.

This is a government based site and I wrote better stuff on my ZX Spectrum. Enough said

website is difficult to follow and very pushy to up sale other products.

i added something on by mistake and they refused to refund it all and took an admin fee to refund me. scammers

Folly corruption service shame on the manangner.

Fully agree with the responses below. I hate having to call Companies House for advice. The staff are always belittling, condescending and talk in a manner of superiority. Very unpleasant and unhelpful - expect you to know their job inside out instead of helping business owners and users.

Despite being informed that a previous tenant had left the premises in July 2016, companies house have allowed him to set up what will undoubtably be a fraudulent company at my properties address. Do they not have access to the electorial roll? What proof of ID do they look at? This has probably been set up to use the company grant from the tax

I hate having to call Companies House for advice. The staff are always belittling, condescending and talk in a manner of superiority. They assume all business owners are accountants, and fully understand their internal, sometimes rather complicated systems.
It is always a very frustrating and unpleasant experience.

They would do good to re-train their staff on the phones to be more patient and understanding with us all.

I worked at the Cardiff offices. The worst place I have ever worked. Had to raise an number of issue with HR because of the way a number of senior people were treating me and a number of colleagues. HR did nothing about it as the people in question had been there 20 plus years, even though people's behaviour was threatening and bullying. Other colleagues confirm there is a culture of bullying that is accepted. Disgusting organisation

Giving 1 star because I can't give minus stars. My neighbour lives at 111a,. He registered his business ALHAJTOURS using my address (111) as his business address at Companies House. He won't un-register it. I asked CH to add the 'a' but they insisted that I fill in 2 , 5-page forms full of obfuscating crap to remove his company from my address, and return them: which I did, by email, multiple times, but they say they haven't got them. To register a business no proof of address is needed. @1 Criminals can register a company at any address they chose as no proof of address is needed.
@2 My neighbour has financial problems. People come yelling at him because he owes them money. I am scared Bailiffs will come to my house and demand my stuff to pay his debts on the grounds that CH has told them that my address is ALHAJTOURS's registered address.

Absolutely shameful. They can do whatever they want and are not held to account for their mistakes which they seem to make a lot of. Mistake after mistake. Outrageous.
