Re: Issuing County Court proceedings 5 years and 6 months after
the event.

Is it more than six years since the invoice (presumably
addressed to her, not the company) became due and payable? If
so, you’re out of time to sue the director. If you are in time,
your cause of action against the director is different to your
cause of action against the company.

In January 2019, a customer gave me a company cheque for work
that I carried out on their private equipment in their home.
Your contract at the time this was made was with who?
Ms X, or
Company Y?
IMO, if it was with Ms X and notwithstanding whether you knew
she happened to be a director of company Y, then your contract
was with Ms X. The fact that she might have subsequently have
revealed herself as a director after the works commenced and
were substantially or totally completed isn't the point for me.
I don't have that invoice, what I have is the invoice for
carrying out work to her radiogram and a vintage radio.
You issued 2 invoices for the same work? I don't follow.
As I understand it, your claim can only be against the other
party to your contract. Even if you and she agreed after the
event that you would not invoice her but a third party and she
paid with a cheque issued to that company, I don't see how this
makes them liable because you never contracted with them and as
far as I can see.
There's a whole range of scenarios which could apply, but
probably only one once
we've got the facts.
And why have you left matters for 5 years? Have you been
diligent in pursuing this but thwarted at every turn or what?

I'm not sure why you felt that the OP, or the forum in general,
would benefit from you demonstrating that you do not understand
the significance of bills of exchange, or the differences
between contract law and equity, or why you chose to resurrect a
thread that has been dormant for almost a month to do so. I'm
also not sure that I want to know either.

I thought I'd give you an update:
i issued proceedings around 20th December. I got no response,
mid January I asked for and got judgement. Two weeks later,
they paid in full.
