Neighbours in a Nottinghamshire street have been shocked to discover their addresses have been used by a bogus company director to set up fake firms.
The government said it was in the process of changing the law to make verification of identity a requirement for setting up a business with Companies House.People in the street in Worksop discovered the fraud when letters from Companies House arrived at their homes which congratulated Rong Yang on setting up firms, including private security companies, trailer parks and demolition contractors, at their addresses.
There were 775,000 companies registered with Companies House in 2022 and it was estimated 20% - 155,000 - were fake.
