HMRC published new guidance on bad debt relief today, a prompt for insolvency practitioners and finance teams handling live files. The note is concise, but the key line is clear: “What bad debt relief is and how to claim it.” For teams already working disputed balances, the timing matters more than the length. Live cases do not wait for quarter end, they move through proofs, meetings and recoverability decisions now.
HMRC placed the update in its Insolvency Practitioner’s Handbook and published it on 1 October
In RecoupIQ terms, this is a process signal, not a fresh distress signal. Our capital-bleed signal and filing monitoring point to the same issue, exposure can shift after a formal insolvency event. We treat this kind of update as a recoverability trigger for open exposures, especially where teams work in separate lanes. The practical risk is delay, not drama, because missed process steps can leave cash trapped for longer.

Public records show financial distress weeks before credit rating agencies update. Select your situation to see the specific legal risks and what to verify before funds or work leave your hands:
Trigger: Your invoice is 7 to 30 days overdue. Emails are bouncing or promises to pay keep slipping.
High Court winding-up petitions are presented 14 to 30 days before public registers show liquidation. Once a winding-up order is made, trade creditors recover an average of £0.02 on the pound.
Verify live London Gazette winding-up notices, active strike-off proposals, and debenture registrations before you lose statutory priority.
