The company need not inform Companies House that a charge has been fully or partly satisfied. However, it is obviously in the company's own interests that potential investors and lenders know that all or part of the debt has been paid off. A director or secretary of the company may therefore make a statutory declaration on Form 403a before a Commissioner for Oaths or equivalent, and send it to Companies House.
