Unfreezing bank Account


A Restaurant manager incorporated his catering setup on 9th August 2006, as a limited company. The restaurant was not operational (dormant) till January 2009 but failed to file the Annual return (363) and annual accounts or dormant account.

Feburary 2009, he banked £750 and two weeks later, went to the bank to cash part of the amount. To his surprise, the bank account had been frozen.

Could collegues advice me the steps to take to unfreeze the account or anyone who has experience such ordeal, should enlighten me,

Thanks Baffour.

Hi Baffour

I'm doubting the late filing has anything to do with the bank account freezing, if they've taken any action against him they may have a garnishee on the account... but not freezing it.

The freeze could either be an error, or due to such a period of inactivity if it was some 2 1/2 years later... it might have been frozen due it being abnormal activity.

It's been a few weeks at very least since this must have happened. Didn't he ask the bank why it was frozen? Seems quite a normal reaction if he tried to withdraw money over the counter and was refused. What did they say?

Has he not received anything from them?

I don't know if he's a client as you don't say - but surely his first action should be asking the bank!
