This still happening on a daily basis (this is just a search for post code L6), so large scale operation. The UK is currently under siege from fraudulent company creation. One network created 50 new companies yesterday, every one of them using stolen identities, to add to the 150+ they have already created. One poor chap now has 30+ companies registered in his name.
If a company is registered at a residential address then a physical letter and form should go out to that address asking them to confirm.
This is why residents end up getting VAT and HMRC bills for international companies.
I monitor this kind of stuff, it's a joke.
