For the second time I'm looking at chasing a debt from a company. In the first instance they owed me some money it was about £1000. Its extremely rare for me to extend any credit to anyone but the first company was a very prominent company in a small world I operate my business in (Lotus cars and parts). Anyway after a lot of buggering about I filled in the forms for a winding up petition and that got me the invoice paid immediately.

A situation has arisen now whereby another prominent company also operating in this small world of ours has relieved me of £700 for some parts which have gone missing on transit. Unfortunate but nothing too pressing. They have put a claim in with the Royal mail and I have requested they just refund the £700 and sort it out with RM. I have received a form from RM to ask me to sign to confirm I havent received the delivery which I havent. The company involved for some reason will not supply me with the tracking information. The whole thing has gone on about a month in total.

I understand the limit for a winding up petition is £700. Can I reasonably add a £100 admin cost into this to enable the total debt to be over the petition limit?
