Have lodged a serious comprehensive claim against them accusing them of all sorts of things and now awaiting a court date. in the mean time i reported them to the UK Insolvency agency who are looking into it. If they take up the case then they will squash everyone associated with them, the Official Receiver can dissolve the company and go after all the current and former directors up to seven years previous, as i understand it.

If i get a judgment for Civil fraud i am going straight next door to the police station and filing a complaint for criminal fraud too. We are not getting any money out of these guys and the only way to deal with them now is as harshly as possible.I will chase this till the entire family pay up or are ruined as several have been directors. Because they have given a false address to companies house they will be struck off from being directors for a long time and that is fraud in its self. Their family accounts could be seized. Of course the next action is to check if they have filed proper VAT returns with Customs and Excise. They make MI5 look like pussy cats! Virtually unlimited powers of seizure entry and arrest.

You can name former directors etc as part of suit. You paid X months ago, they were there then.

Likely that tangent goes nowhere, but if it were me I'd be applying pressure everywhere I could anyhow. Last time I was involved in litigation I added the other guy's wife, kid, accountant, everyone. He'd made the mistake of putting them on his payroll and adding them as officers of the company. As soon as my lawyer found that out, they were named as defendants and served. Subpeona someone's wife and kid for a deposition and charge them with criminal conspiracy to commit fraud and that gets their fucking attention PDQ. Suddenly they get all infused with this sudden desire to find common ground.

In this case that's dear old dad and the brothers at least.

These assholes have been given every opportunity to deliver a product or refund people's money. What happens to them after this is their fault.
