You can object a company being struck off if you have good reasons to do so. For example, the company is still trading or owed you money when you see the dissolution notice on the Gazette. For this purpose, you must send your objection in writing with supporting evidence to Companies House.
Generally, your objection must reach Companies House within 2 months and at least 2 weeks before it is officially being struck off.
By email
You can send an email to Companies House at enquiries@companieshouse.gov.uk

Call Companies House if you have a disability that prevents you from emailing or posting your objection. You’ll have one month to arrange for someone to email or post supporting evidence for you.
Review your objection
Thereafter, Companies House would review your objection and supporting evidence. If your application is successful, they will postpone the struck off process usually 3 or 6 months. During this period, you shall communicate with Companies House if you require more time to take legal action against the company and so on.
This is how to object to a company being struck off the register.
