Companies House accept paper documents for limited companies on “good faith”. This means that, unless your company is signed up for the Companies House PROOF scheme, paper documents filed on behalf of your company will most likely be accepted. A variety of changes can be made via paper forms such as officer resignations and appointments, address changes and share changes. Therefore it’s very easy for fraudulent activity to take place; all it takes is for someone to file a bogus form on behalf of your company at Companies House.
As well as signing up for the PROOF scheme, another way to tackle such fraud is to purchase a “Company Tracker” on your own company. This way, whenever a change is made with Companies House to your company, you are notified by email, therefore allowing you to closely monitor your company and deal with any fraudulent activity swiftly.
