GingerHippo hopefully you will learn something here to take back to Telegram. Read my post again, slowllllly, to understand they have followed none of the steps to apply for an extension and If missing the statutory deadlines will get statutory fines. Not hard really, but just for little old you......
Late filing penalty fees
The penalty only applies to accounts. The level of the penalty depends on how late the accounts reach Companies House.
Length of period (measured from the date the accounts are due) Penalty for a private company or LLP Penalty for a public company
Not more than 1 month £150 £750
More than 1 month but not more than 3 months £375 £1,500
More than 3 months but not more than 6 months £750 £3,000
More than 6 months £1,500 £7,500
The penalty will be doubled if accounts are filed late in 2 successive financial years (beginning on or after 6 April 2008).
Example - a private company with an accounting period ending 30 September 2019
The company must deliver acceptable accounts by 30 June 2020 to avoid a late filing penalty. If they were not delivered to Companies House until 15 July 2020, the company would get a £150 penalty.
Consequences of not filing
Not filing your confirmation statements, annual returns or accounts is a criminal offence - and directors or LLP designated members could be personally fined in the criminal courts.
Failing to pay your late filing penalty can result in enforcement proceedings. Any criminal proceedings for not filing confirmation statements, annual returns or accounts is separate from (and in addition to) any late filing penalties issued by Companies House against the company.
There’s no penalty for filing your confirmation statements or annual returns late - but the registrar could take steps to strike off your company.
