By which I mean make sure the debt hasn't been sold, the person is an owner of the business, has the business been properly wound up, is the GST registration still valid? Are there any subby liens on the work? All traps for the unwary that could result in your paying twice. :( Quotes from the companies register "This company is now overdue in its obligation to file an annual return. If the annual return is not filed immediately the Registrar will initiate action to remove the company from the register." followed by... "The Registrar of Companies is satisfied that this company has ceased to carry on business and has initiated action to remove the company from the register. Public Notice has been given. If you object to its removal, contact the company in the first instance. If this is not possible, lodge your objection after 19 May 2011 and before 17 Jun 2011 using the online service."	globe (11482)

This is part of the answer, but the company has not been struck off until this happens. It may be the owner intends to pick up the pieces and carry on, recovery of the debt being part of the process. But the ownership (of the debt) still has questions over it and you need more qualified advice than mine. To me, there is a moral obligation on your part and anyone who advises you to walk away without payment are in my view immoral and unethical. :mad: You need to cover yourself that any payment you make is binding on the company. Again to make sure the debt cannot be assigned in any way. If the debt is to the company, you should not pay the owner direct. Hope this helps. But best talk to an accountant.	WalOne (4202)
