The trouble is the actual collection, which as far as I know is still left as an exercise for the person owed.



Nope, when a company is struck off (directors given 2 months notice etc) its assets are frozen and passed to The Crown, who appoints an Official Receiver. They liquidate the assets, pay any creditors (pay themselves) and keep anything remaining.

So it's an absolutely nuclear debt collection option, and not fast. But the threat is real if the debtor can't argue the debt away.
