WARNING – OFFICIAL LOOKING COMPANIES HOUSE LETTERS Yesterday I received a panic call from a client about a letter she had received seemingly from Companies House. Her company filing date WAS NOT OVERDUE but she received a close facsimile of the letters Companies House send out, as can be seen from this letter (with the client's details redacted). She forwarded me the letter and I could see immediately that it was not from Companies House – it was from another firm of accountants. The heading was ‘Standard Accounting’ (sic) but the sender’s name appeared on the bottom as 2020 Accountancy LLP. To say the least, it could be construed as a clumsy attempt at impersonating a real Companies House official communication – with bar codes added so that the unaware recipient would click one of them and by so doing instruct the firm of accountants to carry out one of the three tasks at whatever their charges were. The use of the two words ‘Statutory Notice’ in the context of this letter could only be taken as coming from Companies House, leading the recipient into being deceived into thinking it was official. The fact that the letter was sent to a client of ours was highly disquieting, and not the sort of tactic one would expect from any firm of accountants. I would therefore advise clients to NOT CLICK THE BARCODES we will report the letters to Companies House.
