I have just sent form DS01 to a client. The form states that the £10 fee should be paid by cheque or postal order. Are they kidding? I certainly haven't used a cheque for about 10 years and as for postal orders, I didn't think they even existed anymore. My client is currently abroad and has no cheque book. I suppose that he will have to wait until until he comes back to the UK, trundle down to the Post Office and by a postal order.
More of a rant really.

I agree that it needs to be brought more up to date, and online, but could you not pay it on their behalf in the interim, presumably you'll be charging a small fee for the process or bringing their affairs up to date prior to strike-off, or preparing SA100 at some point?
I agree it seems odd, particularly when for other functions they accept electronic payment.
Try the below:

I used the link above (posted elsewhere on aweb) I couln't find a link to it on the Companies House Website! I was pleasantly surprised - It enabled the director to electronically sign the form
Very useful, I didn't realise you could file electronically. Shame though, I just completed one for a client a couple of months ago

Filing a DS01 online has only recently become available. The cost to pay electronically has gone down to £8.
Now that’s progress!
