Draft client email

Subject: Action needed before we file your CS01 — MARINE AND GENERAL MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY

Dear client,

We have run a Companies House preflight check on MARINE AND GENERAL MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY (00000006) before filing the confirmation statement (CS01). You may be able to file, but there are points to confirm first.

What we found:

PRINGLE, Martin (secretary):
  - Only one given name is on the register. A missing middle name is a common CS01 / IDV mismatch.
  - No identity_verified_on on the public record for this officer.

GALBRAITH, James (director):
  - Only one given name is on the register. A missing middle name is a common CS01 / IDV mismatch.
  - No identity_verified_on on the public record for this officer.

WALKER, Michael John (director):
  - No identity_verified_on on the public record for this officer.

What to do:
1. Confirm each director name on the register matches their passport or photo ID (including middle names).
2. If anything is wrong, apply to Companies House to correct it before filing. Name and date of birth corrections can take up to 20 working days.
3. Reply to confirm we should proceed, or send the exact passport name for any officer you want us to re-check.

This is a checker only. It does not file anything with Companies House and is not legal advice.

Kind regards
