The Insolvency Service: another way to complain@active companies

-->

Get a suspicious cold call from a company offering investments in wine or to buy your wine or else offering carbon credits, diamonds, gold, land graphene etc? Then you can file a complaint with the Insolvency Service Hot-Line as well as through Action Fraud. It may well pay to complain to two separate Government organisations.

Then as well as filing a complaint with Action Fraud you can also file a complaint against companies that are still trading through The Insolvency Service’s Hot Line: 0845 601 3546 or intelligence.live@insolvency.gsi.gov.uk. This can lead to the company being investigating and, if found to be a threat to the public, it can be closed down and may lead to a criminal investigation and a trial as it did in the case of Nouveau World Wines and Finbow.

If your complaint involves the conduct of a company or its officers you should contact the Insolvency Service.

The Insolvency Service is an Executive Agency of the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). The Company Investigations team within the Insolvency Service has the power to investigate limited companies where information received suggests corporate abuse; this may include serious misconduct, fraud, scams or sharp practice in the way a company operates.

To complain about a limited company that is still trading:

Telephone: 0845 601 3546
