I have just tried to complete my companies annual return and found the fee had increased from £15 to £30. Reading further I found that it would be only £15 if I filed online at the website www.companieshouse.gov.uk.

No such site appears on my browsers and Yahoo gives another address  which also does not work www.companies-house.gov.uk.

I see also that they only quote an 0870 number to make even more money out of their own incompetence in not setting up a proper fully functional website before doubling the fee.

Guessing they may only permit Microsoft products to communicate with their site. I used the Linux Mozilla and Firebird.

Naturally, I will return the form with £15 by snail mail.

Thanks for your site, I rang the number 02920 388588 and a recorded message says they are closed due to unforseen circumstances. I guess Hal has taken them all prisoners.
