A Ltd.Company that owes me money has recently been listed as "strike off listed". What does this mean and why would this have happened?. I would appreciate some help in understanding the matter fully.
 
Possibly for non-filing of returns to the CRO. When did they last file an annual return, and what does the CRO say the next annual return date is?
 
Thanks for your reply Mandelbrot. Last AR Date 01/03/2010. Next AR Date 01/03/2011
 
So they're now over a year late to file their Annual Return - it's been a while since I worked in that area, so the CRO may be more efficient now at enforcement on late-/non-filers.
 
CRO are indeed enforcing the rules regarding late filing and using their discretion to strike off late filers.

On the other hand this company may have actually applied for strike off it if had stopped trading etc etc. This can be checked by looking at the submissions made by the company and if a form H15 was filed recently.

A company must be up to date with it's Annual Return filing before it can apply to be struck off.
 
Strike off

It usually takes the CRO a year or so before they strike off a company for non filing of accounts. It is never a good sign when this happens as it is usually a sign that this have gone really bad for the company and the directors are not bother filing the accounts. If you are owed money you can apply to have a liquidator appointed.
 
I am closing down a company as it is no longer required. Returns etc. are all in order.

When I asked the accountant to to perform the closing down process, she used the term 'Strike off' as the proceedure. She said this has to be notified in a National newspaper.
 

Your case would be "Voluntary Strike Off".

Which is totally different to "Involuntary Strike Off".
