Defined Returns Limited is a UK limited company based in Manchester, incorporated in 2003 and 7 years old when the liquidator was appointed. There have been 12 director appointments since incorporation, of which 3 were on the board when the liquidator was appointed.
12 people have been appointed as directors of Defined Returns Limited.
A director resignation shortly before an insolvency is a matter of public record; it does not by itself imply wrongdoing.
Submit your proof of debt to the liquidator. Once liquidation begins, no creditor can start or continue legal action without the court's permission. Unsecured creditors rank after secured and preferential creditors and are usually paid last, often only a portion.
Owed money by a company in liquidation →Employees are preferential creditors for certain unpaid wages and holiday pay, and may be able to claim from the Redundancy Payments Service if roles are made redundant.
Employee rights and redundancy pay →Deposits paid are usually unsecured claims. Contracts may be terminated by the liquidator. Contact the liquidator about outstanding work or refunds.
What customers can recover →Goods supplied before the liquidation began are an unsecured claim. Check whether any retention-of-title clause lets you identify and recover specific goods.
How retention of title works →Most suppliers only find out a customer has failed once it is announced. By then it is too late. Protect monitors every company you sell to and emails you as the warning signs build, well before it becomes official. We can't stop a customer failing, but you'll never be the last to know, and you'll know you did all you could.
