We entered into a contract for rental of equipment with a company that was incorporated in July 2010. We paid an initial deposit in October and then monthly rentals since then. The last accounts filed up to March 31st 2011 at companies house state the company is dormant. I have noticed that the invoices which we have been paying under this contract came from a parent company and not the one with whom we entered into a contract. Is the contract valid is the company is stated as dormant despite us paying under the agreement during that accounting period but they have issued the invoices under another company name.

Hi, Does the contract make any reference to the 3rd company whatsoever?
no it doesn't
Hi, The fact that the company is dormant does not mean that the contract is not valid. Generally, when a company is first set up it will not file returns as it may not have traded until some time after the company was formed. The terms and conditions should really refer to the parent company and the invoices should come from the company with whom you have contracted. The fact that this is not the case, does not invalidate the contract. I hope this answers your question. If so, kindly rate the answer and provide feedback. If you wish to discuss, please feel free to ask further questions. Kind regards,
