Complain about an undischarged bankrupt acting as a company director


How to complain about an undischarged bankrupt illegally acting in the management of a limited company

It is illegal for an undischarged bankrupt to be concerned (directly or indirectly) in promoting, forming or managing a limited company, or acting as a company director, without the court’s permission, whether formally appointed as a director or not.

If you wish to complain about an undischarged bankrupt acting as a company director please complete our on-line breach questionnaire. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint as soon as we receive it.   

You can also contact us by email, post, or by telephoning our Investigations Hotline number and leaving your details.

Submit a complaint via our Investigations Hotline:

Dial 0845 601 3546. This is a 24 hour facility which allows you to leave your contact details so we can acknowledge your contact and send you the appropriate questionnaire.  You should note that we do not routinely return calls. It is important that you provide as much information as possible and keep hold of any supporting documentation as this may be requested at a later date.

Although you can make a complaint anonymously there is no real benefit and it would then be difficult for further information to be obtained from you should it be required.

We will treat any information you provide in the strictest confidence, and under no circumstances do we disclose to an individual the source of the complaint.

If your concerns are more appropriate for another public body, we would normally pass on your complaint.  However if you do not wish us to do so, please make that clear in your complaint.
