How to pay for Scottish LP confirmation statement - I do not have a UK cheque book

[dunduk]

Hello!

I have to pay 17 pounds by cheque along with Scottish LP confirmation form. It looks like that the Companies House does not accept any other form of payment (please correct me if I am wrong on it). I do not not have a UK bank account or a cheque book. The company which opened the LP for me do not want to help me. I found a company which can do it for 60 pounds, but it is a lot for basically nothing. Is there a simple way to send them the cheque?

Many thanks in advance

Did you ask them and how do you paid them?

Who is using cheques today!

Well this is on the official site Confirmation statement for a Scottish limited partnership (SLP CS01)
The only way to to fill the statement is to send the paper form. And the only way to pay is to send the cheque along with it.
I may be wrong - does anybody have experience with electronic filling?

When I formed the LP the agent sent them the cheque. Now they do not want to support me on this.

It might be possible to fill the form online. From the form:
"This form is available in an alternative format. Please visit the forms page on the website at www.gov.uk/companieshouse"

I think you can pay by Card or PayPal if you do webfiling online (see 3:32 timestamp in demo video).

James seemed to have a solution but he's not replying to my messages here or via email, dunduk is also not responding. can anyone else helping with this? Thank you

This is something you would normally solve through the service provider you used to form the company. Have you tried contacting them?

 

[angelo1955]

Of course I did. They no longer offer the service.

I'm just wondering, if James might have had a solution for dunduk, why I am not getting any reply. Anyway, I will keep looking for some help and hopefully get a message back from James.

Apologies @angelo1955 We have been incredibly busy over the last week. Can I take a contact number for you (please DM this) and I will ask my corporate Dept to call you and deal with this for you.

Many thanks.

James

No apologies necessary James, I'm actually sorry to bother regarding this matter but it's becoming urgent so I would love to hear what you suggest in order for me to send the £17 along with the confirmation statement. I'm afraid I can't DM here, maybe because I'm a new user? Can I write you an email to the email address where I wrote already? That would be easier to send my number where your corporate Dept can give me a call. Thank you very much, really appreciate what you are doing for me!

..alternatively I can chat through that zendesk link you gave here to other users? Chatting would be even better for me so to easily keep track of the conversation..thank you

Not sure what ability to do this is in your country but.... Another easy way for you to do this will be to go to your personal bank and ask for a bank cheque drawn in a foreign currency.

I did this in Australia for a UK Companies House fee - I went to my Aussie bank and asked for a British pound cheque for the amount Companies House required and my bank printed me one on the spot. Yes there is sometimes a fee but in reality it's such an easy way to get through this process that it's worth the small fee the bank will charge. Then I just posted the UK cheque and the filled out paper form to the UK via airmail and everything went perfectly smoothly.

Another thing you might consider doing is writing a letter to Companies House that goes in the envelope with your form and cheque, just explaining that you've got a cheque in the correct currency but you've obtained it in another country and you're sorry for the inconvenience. I did this just so they knew I was actually making the effort to comply with all rules/laws and fees.

Hi, Thanks for finding the time to send the message. That route you described has been tried already but unfortunately there's no such possibility here. That would be simple but unfortunately not available.

 

[angelo1955]

Can someone please help with directions on how to write a DM to James? I don't see any button that gives me access to direct messaging, maybe because I'm a new user and that is not allowed until you reach a certain number of posts? Please advise. Thank you.

Once I click the banner and get to this profile page I can write messages but doesn't seem to be a private area as I see messages from other users as well. I have to send him a mobile phone # and I'd rather do that in a private area. Thank you.
