ERROR MESSAGE ‘ ‘ERROR 9999’ will appear due to one of the below reasons: 1.This is due to Companies House servers under high load. 2.If the Annual Return AR01 date is prior to 30 June2016, please regenerate the AR01 form after updating to Version 16.2. 3.Some Annual Returns AR01 submissions are failing validation. This is because they contain ‘care of’. These will get a reject code of ‘9999’. The temporary workaround is to remove the term. Companies House are expecting to deploy a fix soon. 4. CS01 Rejections Companies House were originally unable to accept form CS01 in a number of situations where multiple PSC statements existed during the confirmation period. They have now removed this restriction, however this will still apply within IRIS until the next release version 16.3, due in October 2016. In the meantime if you do encounter this validation it is possible to generate multiple CS01s.
