Description:
The company submitted corrected accounts on 28 Jan 2025, including a cheque. These were received by Companies House but returned over a month later, with the explanation that a later set had already been accepted.
Desired Outcome:
Acknowledgement of timely receipt and cancellation of the late filing penalty due to internal delay by Companies House.
What Could Go Wrong:
If Companies House delays are not recognised, compliant companies may continue to be penalised unjustly, eroding trust in statutory processes.
Current Situation:
Companies House maintains the position that the penalty is valid, denying that the January submission was received in time, despite later returning it.
Action Strategy:
Continue to log all correspondence, push for FOI data to expose the broader pattern, and escalate the claim formally with itemised time logs and billing.
