Do not reply to this letter from Companies House

In a recent email Companies House warned company owners to ignore a letter purporting to be from Companies House.

Basically, the letter claims you need to make payment for Enhanced Web Filing Access.

This is a scam letter. Do not follow any instructions in the letter.

If you want to report receipt of the letter you can follow the guidance on the gov.uk website. The link is https://www.gov.uk/guidance/reporting-scams-pretending-to-be-from-companies-house?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term=

More generally, if you receive any emails, letters or phone calls that ultimately request payment, or your bank details, they are likely to be fraudulent.

Please contact the authority that is purported to be sending the communication, but ignore any contact details on the letter, email or call, and instead find the published contact information, in most cases on the GOV.UK website.

Or call our office…
