The website can lag and get stuck. Double check that it actually submits, because I had problems. Otherwise, all good!

Dear Dorcas,

Thank you for your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you felt you did not get in touch with anyone. We'd like to reassure you that your company dissolution application was successfully submitted, and the dissolution process has already started. We also responded to your email on the same day to confirm that the filing had been submitted successfully.

Following your review, we also reached out to you by phone and were pleased to speak with you directly. During our conversation, we were able to confirm that all the required information had been received and that your application had been successfully submitted.

We hope this helps to clarify the status of your application. We remain happy to assist should you need anything further, and we wish you all the best.

Do not ever use them

I have to say I’m extremely disappointed with the service.

On top of the £50 I would have paid by going directly through the Government/Companies House route, I’ve been charged an additional £33 platform fee and a further £49 for changing the directors. That’s an extra £82 for what is advertised as an "easy to use" service.

Unfortunately, my experience has been the complete opposite. Customer service is virtually non-existent. The live chat says someone will get back to you within 24 hours, and the helpline only allows you to log a call and wait up to 48 hours for a callback.

Considering the additional fees charged, I would have expected a much higher level of support. Instead, I’ve paid significantly more and still can’t get hold of anyone when I need assistance.

Had I gone directly through Companies House, I may have had to wait on hold, but at least I would have been able to speak to someone and get an answer.

With the filing deadline approaching quickly, this lack of support is incredibly frustrating. Overall, this has been a complete waste of time and a very poor customer experience.

Hi Inese,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're very sorry to hear how frustrated you are, especially with your filing deadline approaching.

We want to assure you that your two orders are actively being worked on. Our team has been trying to connect with you to resolve this. After you reached out via live chat on Friday, August 7th, we followed up with an email that same day. We also returned your call and left a voicemail when we weren't able to reach you.

Online Filings is a private service, separate from Companies House and GOV.UK. Our fees cover the use of our platform and our team's assistance in preparing and submitting your filings. We completely understand that encountering hurdles during this process is stressful, and we want to ensure you get the support you paid for.

We would love to help you bring your outstanding filings to a successful conclusion before your deadline. We're sorry that your experience so far has not met your expectations. Please rest assured that our team remains committed to turning this experience around for you.

We remain happy to assist you via email or phone and encourage you to get in touch so we can continue working with you towards a resolution. We hope to have the opportunity to resolve this for you and leave you with a much more positive experience of Online Filings.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Very misleading and borderline illegal!!!

Very misleading trying say legal obligation as they are hmrc. Try charging £96. Says £50 companies house fee's to do what claiming. It's free and takes 2 minutes. Going through businesses on companies house and technically scamming. If was clear its free to do yourself but will do for fee, I'd call it a service. Technically legal but shouldn't be as lying. Especially saying £50 companies house fee to make a company dormant! Even advertising 5 star excellent on trust pilot. Id be interested to know if 5 star reviews are genuine. Loads of 5 and 1's. Very little in-between you'd expect from genuine experiences.

Hello Benj,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. However, as you did not purchase the service, we would like to clarify what the service and its associated fees cover.

Online Filings is a private service provider and is not affiliated with Companies House or HMRC. Our "Make your Company Dormant" service is not simply a request to change the company's SIC code. It includes the preparation and filing of a Confirmation Statement with Companies House to report the change in the company's activities. The £50 Companies House fee included in the service is the statutory filing fee for the Confirmation Statement, rather than a fee for changing the SIC code itself.

It is possible to make certain changes directly through Companies House without using a third-party service. Customers are always free to do this themselves. Our service is intended for those who prefer assistance with preparing the required information and completing the filing process.

We aim to make the distinction between our service fee and statutory Companies House fees clear before a service is purchased, so customers can make an informed decision.

We hope this clarifies the reason for the charge and the service being offered. We wish you all the best with managing your company.
