Do you control the English Ltd?

Get your app on your new account with your new company. By the way, the whole point of limited liability companies is so that a different legal entity is handling the transaction -- at least in America, using your personal account with a corp or an LLC is a very bad idea. The corp/LLC needs to be operating from its own checking account.

If you have control over that English LTD, get a bank account from there. Since you don't live there, one method is asking someone who is there enter in as a partner or someone who would be able to open up the account there. You'd probably have to provide enough evidence of credibility so you don't come across like a Nigerian scammer. Give that person a fee to setup the account, a percentage of how much Apple actually gives to you. Don't be greedy, cut your losses, the amount you pay for someone to pull the money out is a great lesson to learn (you probably won't make that same mistake again). Once it is done, shutdown the old account and the company and keep your records. In the meantime, make sure new revenue isn't going into the old account. You'll also want to make your intellectual property and ownership of the copyrights are very clear so there is no question down the road on who owns what.
