Today I received what I assume is their standard letter when a business is due to file a Confirmation Statement soon, which they can find online. I scanned the QR code (which was a bit suspicious) and only when it came to the fees did I clock this is not HMRC or any government body, it's a private company offering to file your statement for you - which you can do yourself in less than two minutes - for a significant fee. Preying on those who are a bit unsavvy, in my opinion.

Give the false impression of being a goverment agency to take money off you.

They sent me a reminder ( a very official looking letter) about an overdue filing for my small company. The tone of the letter gave the impression they were a government organisation sending a reminder to me and the form was filled in by scanning a QR code on the letter. This meant you did not see company blurb etc on their website, just the form. I filled in the form and made a payment of £96.80 only to find out they were in fact a private company and had charged me £46.80 more than filling in the same form on the government website myself. I subsequently filled in my own form on the government website and paid the £50, so they took £96.80 off me under false pretences and for not providing any service at all. I tried to get hold of them. No live telephone response or chat services. They say they will get back to me within 2 business days. Update: They sent me a refund form but restricted the size of the text boxes to about 50 words so you are completely unable to give a full explanation of why you should have a refund.

Hi Alison,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were left with this impression, and we do appreciate your concerns.

We are officially registered by Companies House as an Authorised Filing Software Provider and Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), and recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital (VAT Returns) and Self Assessment. We are also supervised by HMRC for anti-money-laundering (AML) compliance. Customers are always free to file directly with Companies House themselves if they prefer. Our service is designed to help customers complete filings correctly, securely and in line with UK compliance requirements.

The communication you received was clearly identified as originating from Online Filings™. It includes our official logo, company information, and contact number for any enquiries, along with a footer disclaimer.

All information regarding our authorisations, pricing, and services is clearly presented on our website and at checkout. Our pricing distinguishes the Companies House fee from our service fee to ensure transparency.

We are sorry to hear that you were not able to get in touch with our support team immediately - nonetheless, please note that we can confirm that our team reached back to you within the same day, following up on your refund request for this service. Bear in mind that we have since processed a partial refund for your filing, as per our latest communication.

Do not ever use them

I have to say I’m extremely disappointed with the service.

On top of the £50 I would have paid by going directly through the Government/Companies House route, I’ve been charged an additional £33 platform fee and a further £49 for changing the directors. That’s an extra £82 for what is advertised as an "easy to use" service.

Unfortunately, my experience has been the complete opposite. Customer service is virtually non-existent. The live chat says someone will get back to you within 24 hours, and the helpline only allows you to log a call and wait up to 48 hours for a callback.

Considering the additional fees charged, I would have expected a much higher level of support. Instead, I’ve paid significantly more and still can’t get hold of anyone when I need assistance.

Had I gone directly through Companies House, I may have had to wait on hold, but at least I would have been able to speak to someone and get an answer.

With the filing deadline approaching quickly, this lack of support is incredibly frustrating. Overall, this has been a complete waste of time and a very poor customer experience.

Hi Inese,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're very sorry to hear how frustrated you are, especially with your filing deadline approaching.

We want to assure you that your two orders are actively being worked on. Our team has been trying to connect with you to resolve this. After you reached out via live chat on Friday, August 7th, we followed up with an email that same day. We also returned your call and left a voicemail when we weren't able to reach you.

Online Filings is a private service, separate from Companies House and GOV.UK. Our fees cover the use of our platform and our team's assistance in preparing and submitting your filings. We completely understand that encountering hurdles during this process is stressful, and we want to ensure you get the support you paid for.

We would love to help you bring your outstanding filings to a successful conclusion before your deadline. We're sorry that your experience so far has not met your expectations. Please rest assured that our team remains committed to turning this experience around for you.

We remain happy to assist you via email or phone and encourage you to get in touch so we can continue working with you towards a resolution. We hope to have the opportunity to resolve this for you and leave you with a much more positive experience of Online Filings.

Thank you again for your feedback.
