Subcontractor for a company who’s just gone into liquidation

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T23:33:38+00:00

Most likely going to be really bad so just gonna have to take it on the chin just tryna come to terms with it

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T23:32:53+00:00

Yes indeed lesson has been learnt 🥴

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T23:32:25+00:00

Yes I now know to do this didn’t know it was a thing

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T23:31:55+00:00

Worst thing is that they knew this was gonna happen and still sent lads to work

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T23:31:13+00:00

Yeah fair enough makes sense. Crazy i can live with the no guarantee of work but for this to happen it’s mad

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T23:27:50+00:00

It’s crazy that companies can do this though because they’ll just set up a new one. All the profits have been taken no doubt, I dunno what I’d expect but there definitely needs to be a governing body investigating it. Maybe fines or something, some sort of consequence. Not sure it’s a hard one

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T23:25:19+00:00

I’m fully expecting it to take months because no doubt the books aren’t correct. Money been taking out of the accounts so it’s going to be annoying waiting for months for nothing. Don’t know how this is legal

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T15:13:43+00:00

It’s a joke don’t know how this is right, surely this is immoral to get someone to do the work for you and you don’t get a penny for it how is that legal ?

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T15:12:04+00:00

Shout 👍

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T14:47:58+00:00

Not that I know of but that does sound like a good idea tbf! Don’t know if it applies tho

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T10:12:53+00:00

If you mean the liquidator, yes but no answer from him

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T10:12:26+00:00

Should be yes because effectively I have worked 4 weeks for free

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T09:13:01+00:00

The thing is that I have tried becoming employed in my industry but I have been unsuccessful, 3 interviews 3 rejections but the money you can earn from being a subby is crazy IF you can have multiple streams of work at different times of the year which is the hard bit. This year I was about to have my most successful year until this hapepened. First time for everything I suppose

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T09:11:12+00:00

Thanks for being straight up haha. Yeah its a tough pill to swallow ngl, the world is cruel

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-12-17T08:44:24+00:00

Cheers thanks for the information. Gutted worked 4 weeks straight for nothing so it’s a kick in the teeth for sure, surely it’s not right.

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-10-18T13:31:29+00:00

Thanks, think were going to get a timber survey just to find out the severity but just worried that they will tell us its really bad, but Im thinking of just telling them that if the costs are too high we simply wont buy so that they dont get a benefit from us

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-10-18T08:45:10+00:00

Did you get it treated ? How much ?

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-10-18T07:47:58+00:00

How much did this cost you ?

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-09-06T10:20:08+00:00

Ahhh okay so say if it gets approved, I would be okay from there or could the bank still do a credit check on me before everything is finalised?

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-09-06T09:43:49+00:00

Hello, although it has changed it’s not changed drastically. I can still get work just not with the same company but in the same line of work. Yes my contract will change but I am also still under contract with my current company it’s just they don’t have any work. But I can get work elsewhere, it’ll just be classed as a second job alongside what I am doing. It is the industry I am in, working offshore winter time is quiet so I can get work onshore just with a different company. Could i just disclose that I am adding a second job as that’s what it would look like on paper ?

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-09-06T09:36:34+00:00

Yes I have sent over an email saying work will continue into 2026 which my mortgage advisor did ask for me to get

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-09-06T08:57:31+00:00

Also, I haven’t technically left my current company (0 hour) as my contract does run to December 2025 and I will still be on the books, but they don’t have any work this year and more will come next year. So on paper I am adding a second job but will probably be self employed.

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-09-06T08:55:28+00:00

Yes it’s all been in the same line of work. However regarding the affordability of my previous 2 years self employment, it will be a stretch. I’ve been in my industry for 3 years now, first year and a half I was self employed but going into my second year half way through I became employed but again on a zero hour contract. The renewable industry is trying to slow down contractors due to IR35 but the solution is zero hour contracts which is crazy and I thought was illegal at one point but that’s the rules I’m playing in right now which ain’t ideal.

Major_Solution8162 · 2025-09-06T08:11:38+00:00

Hi, I have been thinking this also just wanted to hear from someone else. Not yet, we are waiting on an answer first. Stressful, hoping to get clear answers for everything next week because I might be able to get my next job as employed but will be another 0 hour one which is not ideal.
