Call ACAS first thing in the morning and ask for their advice.

You're right, it is completely unfair, but unfortunately I doubt you're going to get anything out of the company if they've closed, no doubt due to financial problems. However you should still contact ACAS because there may be a way of recovering the money from the state.

You will be entitled to claim Income Support immediately, so get down to the DWP office and get that sorted.

Immediately contact your state's wage and labor board and find out the procedure of filing a complaint against that company! Do this right away!
