As a former canute driver I thought I was well shut of the thieving Swine when they went bust but I was wrong. Yesterday I got a card saying an item was waiting for me at the post office with £2 postage to pay. Wife asked me what I’d bought this time but a look on Ebay showed no outstanding items. Turns out I’ve had to pay £2to get my final wage slips and P45 from them! A few quick phone calls tell me that I’m not alone either.
Anyone else got stung by this crap?
You can be sure that the administrators/receivers are paying themselves handsomely.
I’m willing to bet that the amount of recovered assets will be almost exactly their fee.
It happens time and again. Until company law is reformed, people will continue with this kind of thing. The police aren’t allowed to investigate it!
I didn’t realise they had gone bust, I drove past a brick wag n drag of theirs in their livery this week.

As soon as I packed up working for Canute, it all went ■■■■-up for them. 
Being a typical Yorkshireman, if I’d have got a card from the post office informing me that I need to pay for something I wasn’t expecting, it would be a case of telling the post office to return it to sender
It is a bit of a ■■■■■■ to pay the £2, but it will be well worth it if/when you find they haven’t paid your N.I contributions.
You will need those payslips/p60 to prove deductions have been taken. Also surprised payslips ard not online these days
All our payslips and personnel stuff is via online portal now
Online could be worse as if they stopping the provider for the wages services, everything disappears.
You can guarantee the admin would see that as a non essential cost and not pay it. Workers are simply a former expense not to be worried about.
With the offline capabilities of modern personnel devices I’d be surprised if anyone who has online payroll doesn’t have E-copies of payslips to hand. However it does sound like Canutes where still using paper copies
A small price to pay for something that could be important in the future days ie proof of NI contributions Tax payments etc etc
Would think its the Administrator not Canute thats “stitched you up”
Have one less coffee whilst your out and about that will pay for your “stitch up”
Who’s pulling Wilko 's trailers nowadays? Been passed by a few pulled by plain white units.

You appear to be very responsible person, anything goes wrong and you are responsible.

Wincanton have had the Wilko contract for year or more. Losing it seems to have been the start of Canute’s downfall. The yellow brick and block wagons are Stobarts.

Technically Harry is the opposite to Uncle Albert since he left the company then it went bust.
So he could trade as “Harry Monk Protection Services” - you’ll be fine unless you stop paying his wages… 
As for Uncle Albert, found some of his best.
