We have been run by the developer acting as directors with a management agent brought in as the directors have no interest in the estate. The managment agent upped and left over a year ago and left the estate to rack and ruin and we the residents want to ake over.
We have several issues though.
Firstly the managment agent kept all the financial records and we believe (know) that they fiddled the accounts. None of the budgets approved at AGM's match submitted records (by huge sums) or amounts paid to sub contractors (which were by comparison very small leaving a huge amount of money unaccounted for.) They have no obligation to keep or provide any records so we are up the creek in that regard. What if there is a load of debt in the company? (There is no accounts submission made for this year with CRO and we are at rsk of been stricken off early next year.)
How do you take over the managment company via an EGM in reality. I've read all the guidance but how do you change CRO records or become named on the company bank account with no previous director being involved?
What happens to the poor residents who have to deal with any angry debtors who believe they are owed money from the company without us having any financial records to back up o support such a claim? Thi point alone is holding back people who had previsouly been keen to become directors. They dont want to be associated or responsible for large sums of debt they had nothing to do with.
does anyone else have any experience of this?
thank you in advance.
