Company Investigations Inquiry Notice


We have received a complaint about your company which suggests corporate misconduct.


This may involve:


  • Causing significant harm to customers, suppliers, etc.
  • Breaking the law, e.g. double-dealing
  • Serious misbehavior, e.g. company assets have not been used properly
  • Having a notable impropriety in its affairs.


As part of this procedure we have made our own background fieldwork and if it happens to be in the public interest, we can apply to the court to wind up the company and stop it trading.


Your Inquiry Number: 33IFMP344

Also if the conduct of the director(s) who run the company is questionable enough, we can commence proceedings to disqualify them from managing a limited company for a period up to 15 years.
The investigation may give us details that we can pass to another regulatory body that has more appropriate powers to deal with any concerns the investigation uncovers.

Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) Speeding Ticket by Email Fake or Real?

If you have received a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) Speeding Ticket by Email and are wondering if it is fake or real then think about these points.
 
In the UK Police do not send speeding tickets (Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP)) by email. The notice has to be sent by post within 14 days to the registered keeper, there is no option to email.
 
  • Does the email claiming to be a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) show the vehicle registration?
  • Does the email claiming to be a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) show the Registered Keeper Name?
The answer to both these questions is likely to be no as the emails are sent at random and the spammers have no idea who they have been sent to.


A Notice of Intended Prosecution has to be linked to a vehicle and a Registered Keeper so these emails can be deleted as spam.


If you have clicked the link on the email then I'd recommend using a virus scanner on your PC as you are likely to have infected your machine with a virus or Trojan.
