Locate the company you wish to make a claim against from the Companies List.  The online claim form requires you to provide your name and postal address and contact details. If you are owed money by the company in liquidation, you are a creditor. In order to participate in any possible distribution of funds and to receive information about the insolvency you must complete a claim form.

You will be a preferential creditor if you are an employee with a claim for wages and holiday pay and redundancy, are an applicant creditor (with court award), or are Inland Revenue Department with core GST, PAYE, Kiwisaver.
