Tell us about exceptional circumstances you want us to consider before we take enforcement action for overdue filings.

Details
Use this form to make representations for not filing:
- a confirmation statement and director identity verification statements
- an identity verification statement for a person with significant control (PSC)
You must make your representation within 28 days of the date on the default letter you received. After the timeframe has passed, we may pursue enforcement action without further notice.
We will consider representations that we receive within the timeframe in a fair, evidence based and robust way. We will not consider representations received outside of the timeframe.
We’re likely to accept representations where there’s evidence that:
- there were exceptional circumstances related to the due date
- it would be disproportionate for us to pursue enforcement activity at that time
For example, a company experiencing serious IT failure when the identity verification statement was due with no other way to complete the task.
What happens next
We will write to you to tell you whether we accept your representation. This decision will be final.
If we accept your representation, we’ll pause enforcement action, usually for up to 2 months, to give you time to file the statement.
You must verify your identity to act as a director or equivalent and remain lawful.
