Many people praise the staff for their excellent support, professionalism, and helpful guidance, often noting their promptness and patience in resolving issues. Reviewers appreciate the clear information and easy-to-use interface, which simplifies tasks like ID checks and statement filings.

Scam

Cannot get in touch with them. our company submitted a confirmation through this company which was never submitted. Do not use them and go directly to the gov service. Definitely a scam as you cannot get in touch with them on phone and the chat functionality doesn't work.

Not surprised by many of the one star issues hereabouts.
Tried to get in touch with them three times, including an invitation to reply to their message/mail.

You have to wonder at what's happened. Either poorly resourced and unable to meet fundamental courtesies or managerial incompetence. Quite possibly a bit of both. Relatively easy to rectify.

An apology is or will be irrelevant. Toodaloo.

avoid and file direct

It required payment for using the service, failed to get my documents accepted by Companies House, but said it was not obliged to refund my money. It offered 50% back as gesture. It claimed not to be obliged to repay as I had used its software, which I had not. People planning to use it need to be aware it is not part of Companies House but a separate private company making money from filing required reports whic h can be filed with Companies House direct.

This company is just a total scam - WATCH OUT

This company is just a total scam, it is very easy for businesses to let's say 'generate' positive reviews, but one look at the one stars and it tells you everything you need to know as a customer.

Surprised that the people who run this business can sleep at night.

Hi Mark,

We are sorry to hear that you were frustrated with your experience.

Your order was placed successfully, however the service could not proceed because the required identity verification was not completed. As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider registered with Companies House and supervised under UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, we are required to verify the identity of all users and directors before any filing can be submitted.

This is a mandatory compliance requirement for all customers and cannot be bypassed.

The verification requirements, including the documents needed, are explained on our website within the “How It Works” and FAQ sections, which are available to view before the checkout process, giving customers the opportunity to review all requirements before making a decision to proceed.

Online Filings is a private service provider and is not affiliated with Companies House or GOV.UK. 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.

We appreciate your feedback and we wish you all the best.

Hi Kathleen,

Thank you for your review and for your patience during the process.

If requested, the authentication code can take up to 10 working days to arrive at your registered office. The code is issued and sent exclusively by Companies House via post, and the delivery timeframe is unfortunately beyond Online Filings’ control.

We’re glad everything could be completed once the code arrived, and we appreciate you choosing Online Filings.

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you feel this way and would like to clarify a few points.

After thoroughly reviewing your case, your filing was not submitted as the director verification was not completed. Before any filing can be submitted through our platform, all directors and users must complete identity verification. This is a mandatory compliance requirement.

Online Filings is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider registered with Companies House and supervised by HMRC for Anti-Money Laundering purposes. These checks are in place to protect both businesses and the integrity of UK company filings.

We also provide service descriptions and FAQ pages throughout the ordering process to help customers understand the service being selected and any steps required before placing an order.

We appreciate that compliance steps can sometimes feel frustrating, particularly if a filing is time sensitive. However, as the verification process was not completed, the filing itself could not be submitted.

Online Filings is a private service provider and customers also have the option to file directly with Companies House if preferred.

We appreciate you sharing your feedback and wish you and your business the best in the future.

Easy Enough

Everything was pretty simple, from just scanning the QR code and following the instructions. I would have given a 5 but the photo ID verification step was quite annoying as the camera access button in the procedure simply would not work. I had to go to my phone settings and then allow the browser permission to use the camera, then it went fluidly enough.

Hi Warren

Thank you for your feedback. Really pleased to hear that you found the overall process simple and straightforward to follow.

We’re sorry to hear the photo ID verification step caused some frustration initially. Camera permissions are controlled directly through individual device and browser settings, so unfortunately this is not something we can manage from our side. However, we appreciate you taking the time to resolve this, and we’re glad the process then ran smoothly for you afterwards.

Thank you again for your review and support.
