What happens next
Creditors who believe they are owed money by F100 Spirit of the Nineties Ltd should contact the Official Receiver's office using the details above. In a compulsory liquidation, the liquidator investigates the company's affairs, realises any remaining assets, and distributes the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set by the Insolvency Act 1986. Unsecured creditors, those whose debts are not backed by a charge over the company's assets, rank behind any preferential creditors and the costs of the liquidation itself.

Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from F100 Spirit of the Nineties Limited?
Customers rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to F100 Spirit of the Nineties Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made.

The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
