I totally agree with your methods and I understand the logic behind them. I was just wondering wether the company could just brush it off

The company would simply pay the outstanding amount to the creditor to make it go away automatically.

If it's a significant amount, it's a very common way to recover funds.

See, that's what you get for having significant amounts. I've never had that problem myself 😂

We're all getting significant amounts come the halving 😂

If a company owes you £750 or more you can start the wind up procedure. I know a few who have used this. It gets messy when the company in question actually opts for bankruptcy. That’s when you’re likely to lose your money or only recoup a fraction.

Well, if they'd rather go bankrupt than giving you your money you were very unlikely to get in the first place, no?

Not always - some stay afloat and this approach is a legal kick up the arse to get them to pay up. And once you’ve tied your creditor status within a legal framework you’re prioritised if they do go bankrupt. Somewhat unrelated but I once officially became a creditor when an online company folded just after I ordered an item from them - was very interesting to be involved in the wind up process.
