Computer 2000 (C2000) has petitioned for Into Technology Holdings to be wound up after claiming the company owes it £279,000.

Into is the former owner of IT247.com, which was sold to integrator SCC last month after entering administration.

However, it has emerged that Into has continued trading since the sale and C2000 is eager to recoup the money it claims to be owed.

Nick Tiltman, credit director at C2000, said: “We did not want to go down this route, but the business is still trading and we cannot receive payment from it.”

Tiltman added that a hearing will take place on 8 January although C2000 is hopeful an agreement can be reached before then.
