LogMeIn did this. I paid £17.99 for LogMeIn Ignition on the iPad. A few years later they retired the product & forced subscriptions on everyone. Great way to make people hate your product & brand.

I'll add that the OP has probably triggered this by posting a huge loss in their annual accounts to Companies House on December 23rd. I suspect credit bureau feeds have played a part in this. Oh dear.
