Companies House

Didn't find your answer?

I have been unable to get a response to my accounts filed at companies house. I use VT direct filing.

There is a message on Companies House web site saying that they are dealing with problem but my concern is are we likely to end up with fines.

Does anybody know if using companies house own software provides a response at present.

Others experiences welcomed.

Many thanks

Take a screenshot of the CH message. Should you be fined, appeal on that basis.

your a bit light on details
But if filing abv acs you get an immediate acknowledgement and usually an acceptance within the hour, job done with proprietary software things can take longer but you don't have to rekey

Companies House

Yes I always use companies house software. Within 24 hours you will see an immediate change on the reporting. Also when filing corporation tax returns do not combine the HMRC software with companies house. File them individually

I know what you mean

Yesterday I wanted to download some accounts and got thrown out just before I had to pay.

I went in a few minutes later and it worked.

So although you've got a different problem I think it should be sorted shortly from what I've seen.

Same

I've got the same problem.  Filed two sets of accounts on Tuesday via VT and both have a Status of "Pending"

Just noticed a note on Companies House to say they've sorted the problem as of this morning and are working through the backlog, so hopefully the situation is resolved by the end of the day.

Failed Update

Companies House had a failed update on their computer systems earlier in the week. As the current note says, this was resolved this morning, but they are still clearing the backlog of filings for the last couple of days.

Mine have just been accepted in the last hour, so looks like they are definitely on the case.

VT - Companies House filing

When I queried this with VT they stated if filing Companies House returns via VT no Companies House email receipt/confirmation would be sent.

The proof of receipt is within the VT filing log
