I'm not sure that Companies House can do much unless it's exactly the same name in which case they won't register it.

Sooner or later, with ethics like they have, they'll go out of business but it's frustrating in the meantime!

I think there is a term called Trading Off.

Which means Trading of The Goodwill of another business buy using their name.

Have you asked Trading Standards if they can help?

The legal route ie suing for damages will probably be to expensive.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this subject. I havnt tried Trading Standards because the last time I contacted them, they told me their office was for the use of the consumer and not for disputes between businesses.

You tell Trading Standards that you too pay taxes and have the same rights as a consumer to their services....I call that discrimination dont' you?

It’s called blowing in the wind, re discrimination one country we did not beat but recruited their people to fight for us, where are they now that’s what I call discrimination.
