EXETER CATHEDRAL SCHOOL owes me money — what can I do?

If EXETER CATHEDRAL SCHOOL owes you money you are a creditor in the process. The insolvency practitioner named in the notice will write to known creditors and invite claims. Unsecured creditors rank after fixed-charge holders, the costs of the insolvency, preferential creditors and floating-charge holders, so recovery depends on what is left in the estate.

I worked for EXETER CATHEDRAL SCHOOL — how do I claim what I am owed?

Unpaid wages, holiday pay and statutory redundancy are claimed from the government's Redundancy Payments Service, not from the company or from K2. The insolvency practitioner named in this notice should give you a case reference to claim with.
