If a company is in default, will any letter addressed to the directors go to the Service Address or residential address?
Letters will be sent to the Service Address initially. Will Companies House still register ‘Confidentiality Orders’ for directors under severe threat, as well as the service address option? Confidentiality Orders will cease on implementation of the Act on 1st October 2009. Any Confidentiality Order application received on or before 30 September 2009 will be dealt with but any applications received after that date will be rejected for the new form. As residential addresses are no longer required for the public record, will confidentiality orders need to be renewed? Only directors whose confidentiality order expires before 1st October will need to renew their order. Those who have an unexpired confidentiality order on the 1 October 2009 will be treated as if they had made a successful application under 243. From 1st October 2009 if a director is at risk of harm they will be able to apply under Section 243(5) for their usual residential address not to be disclosed to Credit Reference Agen
