    Well that was worth doing. I forwarded my BPF letter to the OFT and received a response saying thank you. It appears they are still intelligence gathering on this company.

    So when you receive your letter from BPF after going BR, do forward it to the OFT to help them.

    I'm surprised that the Bankruptcy Protection Fund Limited does not describe itself as "non-profit-making", in order to give itself even more credibility. As at 30/09/09 it had shareholders' funds of (£933,467) -- in deficit. It had unsecured creditors in respect of debts falling due within one year amounting to £997,957.

    It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Antag Holdings Limited, which is registered in Malta.

    BFP owns Alpha Mortgages Manchester Limited, which made a loss of (£14,055).

    BFP's sole director and secretary is also the sole director and secretary of Consolidated Finance Holdings Limited, which is also a subsidiary of Antag. CFHL reported Net Assets of £100 as at 30/09/09. CFHL owns Consolidated Finance Limited, which has the same sole director-shareholder and which reported Net Assets of £1 as at the same date.

    CFL reports no income, on the basis that it acts only as agent (for an undisclosed principal). It makes bridging loans to clients of BFP, with interest rates of 2 - 4% per month and substantial exit fees of the order of £3,000.

    Their next accounts are due by 30/06/11.

    Just to update this as their accounts for September 2011 have now been filed at Companies House (and are therefore technically in the public domain).

    Shareholders funds increased to a deficit of £1,292,253 for year ended September 2010, and increased to a further deficit of £1,940,596 for year ended 30th September 2011.
