Accounts daily download zips missing from Aug 19th

Data Issues
1

The company accounts daily zip files haven’t been uploaded from Tuesday 19th.

This is a bit disappointing as it happens every few months and is the third such occurrence that I can remember within the last year, across the daily files and the monthly version.

Can this be looked into please. @MArkWilliams
Thank you

Just to add another voice to this - the page hasn’t been updated since 15th Aug.

I called the number at the bottom of this page and was advised to send email to customercare@companieshouse.gov.uk, which I’ve done.

To be fair whenever i report an issue CH reps on this forum do get it fixed pretty quickly. I get that its not the staff on the forum who maintain the service but I wish the issues werent occuring as frequently as they do.

We can’t complain too much about failure in a free product, but I’d just finished an update to my nightly processing and was keen to see it perform - only to find the data had stopped flowing!

Yes I think it would be unreasonable to expect the level of service one might get from a private entity with SLAs and contracts in place. CH likely don’t have the same resources but equally, it’s not ‘free’ as it is a tax payer funded (indirectly), supplemented by various fee the companies house charges, coupled with the UK Government’s Open Data Policy that makes this data available to public.

An update:

As of this morning 2025-08-24 the missing links have been added, but only one of them actually works.

The link that works is Accounts_Bulk_Data-2025-08-23.zip

The rest give a 404 and error page similar to this:

404 Not Found

    Code: NoSuchKey
    Message: The specified key does not exist.

Same here. Can’t download any file ( didn’t try the 23rd but will do). And the 16th August file is also missing :frowning:
