Dividend payments
On 17 February 2020 the Joint Administrators declared and paid a dividend of 13.97p in the £ to all known unsecured creditors with an agreed claim in the Administration.
This payment was made electronically to all customers with an agreed claim in the Administration. If customers had not updated their bank account details during the period of the Administration, the bank account details paid were those taken from SRC’s company records.
A proportion of the payments that we made were unsuccessful and bounced back to us due to out of date bank account details. Please note that we have not received any interest from holding the funds that have returned to us, and that no profit has been made from holding these funds.
Further payment attempts
In April 2020, we undertook a process to match unsuccessful payments to customers, and arrange for second payment attempts to be made to customers who provided updated bank account details.
Since then, we have processed one subsequent payment run to customers who provided updated bank account details.
Please note that we will not be making any further payment attempts to those customers who have not successfully received their dividend payments.
Unsuccessful dividend payments
If you do not believe that your dividend payment has been successful, you may still be able to claim the dividend payment, but not from the Administration.
We have now sent any funds that we hold relating to unsuccessful dividend payments to the Insolvency Services Account (‘ISA’). This is a Government controlled bank account, and this process is in line with standard insolvency procedure.
If the dividend payment made to you has not been successful, and this is reflected in our records of unsuccessful payments, you will be able to claim the amount directly from the ISA. To do so, please email CustomerServices.EAS@Insolvency.gov.uk, and include your name, customer number, address and the name of the Company, being SRC Transatlantic Limited, in your email.
