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

I have use Online fillings a few times…

I have use Online fillings a few times for different services and they have always been prompt, reasonable price and they do everything you need in regards to Ltd company with no hassle . They are also recognised by HMRC & Companies house so there a trust worthy company. For all the hassle of doing it your self and getting it wrong, companies like OF are definitely worth the cost.

Please don't use this company

Please don't use this company. A big scam 3rd party though they pretend to be a government body. You won't be refunded if you mistake used any services. Always use gov.uk website. Emailed to customer service many times, but the lady keeps replying the same. Poor customer service.

Hi Mumtahin,

We are sorry to hear that this was your impression of our service.

To clarify, Online Filings is a private filing service provider and we do not claim to be a government body. Our website, pricing and checkout clearly state that we are an independent service and not affiliated with GOV.UK or Companies House. Filing directly with GOV.UK is always an option, and many customers choose our service to save time and receive assistance throughout the process.

Looking at your case, the dissolution filing was not completed because the authentication code entered during the authorisation step was incorrect. You were given the option to have the authentication code securely sent to your registered office address and then return to continue the filing once received, however you decided not to proceed further.

We appreciate your feedback regarding customer service. Our team replied based on the information available and the Companies House requirements needed to complete the filing.

We wish you the best with your business and remain happy to assist should you decide to use our service again in the future.

Profoundly Complicated

Having gained a Personal Code by identification at post office, then completing the input for the Company with acceptance of submission for the Confirmation Statement without use of the Personal Code followed by duplicate identification again needing use of a smart phone was profoundly complicated.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the process felt more complicated than expected.

As Online Filings is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) registered with Companies House and supervised by HMRC for Anti-Money Laundering compliance, we are required to verify the identity of all directors and users before any filing can be submitted through our platform. This is a mandatory requirement and is in place to ensure that all filings are properly authorised and compliant with UK regulations.

We understand that this process can sometimes be unfamiliar, and our Customer Experience team is always available to assist and guide users through each step where needed.

We would be happy to assist you again should you choose to file with us in the future.

Opportunists

Opportunists. Sent me an email with the title "Your Confirmation Statement is due soon". When I opened the email, it was scaremongering that I had a legal obligation to submit a confirmation statement and not doing so could result in penalties, but it was for a company I have no association with, that isn't local to me, and that I have never even heard of. No mention in the email that they're not actual the official government website so this definitely falls under the 'scam' category for me.

Opportunist website trying to make a fast buck

I was initially sucked in by an email from this company and thought it was the official reminder from Companies House. I went through some sort of ''verification' process - obviously bogus but which means they have now obtained my mobile no. by deception. It was only when I saw that they wanted £49 to change the details of a director [which should be completely free] that I realised that they were piggy-backing off the CH system. These type of companies should make it clear from the outset they are not the genuine government website and be fined for impersonation if they don't state this upfront.

Hi Mrs. Moorse,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your concerns.

Online Filings is a private service provider and is not affiliated with Companies House or GOV.UK. This is stated on our website and within the service, and customers are always able to file directly with Companies House if they prefer.

We also want to reassure you that when you contacted us requesting removal, your email address was promptly taken off our mailing list and you were informed of this.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and wish you all the best going forward.

No communication or refund

I have waited 3 weeks to file my Companies house paper work, all they did was take my money and now my companies house documents are over due which means I pay a fine. I have tried calling and emailing and I've got NO RESPONSE. I can't even get a refund as no one is communicating with me.

Hi Rashid,

We are sorry to hear about your concerns.

In this case, your request for the Companies House authentication code was made via the platform, and this was processed accordingly. The authentication code is a mandatory requirement set by Companies House, and filings cannot proceed without it. It is used to ensure that only authorised filings can be submitted and to protect companies from unauthorised changes. This is stated in our “How It Works” and FAQ sections, ensuring customers are informed before placing an order.

The authentication code can take up to 10 working days to arrive at your registered office. The code is issued and sent exclusively by Companies House via post, and the delivery timeframe is unfortunately beyond Online Filings’ control.

When you later contacted us, we responded within one day and provided the authentication code along with clear instructions on how to complete your submission.

Following this, the Confirmation Statement was successfully filed and you received an email confirmation confirming this.

We appreciate that deadlines can feel stressful, and once the correct steps were completed, the filing was submitted successfully.

We are sorry you are dissatisfied and take all concerns seriously. We look forward to helping you again should you need our service in the future.

I didn’t mean to put five stars

I didn’t mean to put five stars! It’s all been rather a nightmare to be honest. It was fine for me but the other directors all had difficulty and one has only just achieved it meaning I have had to complete an overdue statement! I have probably spent about six weeks trying to help them. Companies house staff have been fab in their communication with the directors. I’m now concerned that we will be fined because of this!

Hi Helen,

We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties experienced during the process.

As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), all directors were required to complete identity verification before a filing could be submitted. Our system sent direct email invitations to each director with step-by-step instructions, along with guidance on how to obtain a personal code where needed. Our Customer Experience team was available throughout and assisted with the process.

We appreciate that coordinating multiple directors can take time, and we understand your concern regarding deadlines. Once all verifications were completed, the filing was submitted promptly.

Thank you for your feedback, we will certainly take this on board. We wish you all the best with your business going forward and would be happy to assist you again should you choose to use our service in the future.

Be careful

This isn't the government writing to you, it's a company that wants to take a fee to file your paperwork with company's house.

You can bypass this company and file directly with company house for about half the price!

If you're filing your confirmation statement for your company, it's literally clicking on checkboxes, and only takes a few minutes. Not worth paying a 3rd party company £39 for.
