I have to complete a proof of debt form. Form asks for amount of uncapitalised interest amount.
I have seen some comments that this can only be included if there is a contractual right, but have no idea if this is still the case.
Formal demand was never made, but the usual in the event of non payment/interest will be added statement was included on all invoices. Does this therefore allow the inclusion of such interest on this form.
The form is relating to a liquidation of said company so its the rules under The Insolvency Act I am concerned with.
Thanks

Never used that forum - might have a wander, although Ive posted it on Aweb too. Although one answer was someone saying if its good I absolutely have retention of title, which frankly is a bit misleading! But its not good anyway Also pondering now on the fact my guy has a 12month contract so should be sticking them for that too, despite the fact that he might get so little back, then at least its a bit more!

I've no real experience in this area, however, I'd be inclined to add interest as provided for in the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. 8% above base rate for the period between the due date for each unpaid invoice and the date of liquidation, if I remember correctly.
If the liquidator doesn't agree that these are due, I would presume he would advise and disallow.
Thanks Ian, Ive done that. Now its a waiting game. Bloomin annoying having to wait 6 months after each invoice for VAT even in the event of a liquidation. Oh well, thats the game I guess. Thanks again.
