You can contact the official receiver about other matters if you:

You can find details of the official receiver handling a case on:

the letter from us, if you have received one
-
the Individual Insolvency Register if it’s an individual bankruptcy
-
if it’s a company liquidation
When you contact us, provide the reference number for the bankruptcy or liquidation. This will start BKT or LQD.
If you have not yet spoken to someone at the Insolvency Service, it is important that you contact us as soon as possible if you:
- have been made bankrupt
- are a director of a company in liquidation
