INTRODUCTION
This Blog is dedicated to making public some of the business activities and methods of Liam Collins, David Bone Jr and their associates. In the spring of 2010, the present authors invested in Collins & Bone (C&B), who were offering an enticing 8-10% interest on the basis of buying houses for cash, renovating them and letting them out to students. We were assured that our money was secured against houses that they owned, including their own homes and the properties held by their associated company, Castle & Gatehouse (C&G). We have emails and brochures that confirm these details, as do others who invested on this same basis at around the same time. The idea worked for us for over a year, then in November 2011 they told us they were insolvent. They refused our every request for clear accounts, which led us to suspect wrongdoing. We began an investigation and then started this Blog. We found our suspicions confirmed: other investors had lost sometimes quite large amounts to C&B and its predecessor CBS, and all requests for repayment were adamantly refused. These people use and have used so many names that we found it necessary to compress them into CoBo (for Collins & Bone) and Coboco (for the whole bunch of them – there are quite a few!) Note that there is an index in the margin at the right hand side.

PROPOSED LOAN AGREEMENT WITH MATTERHORN CAPITAL

On Collinsbone, this statement appears: "We would like to question how this blog claims to have a copy of the draft loan contracts having never spoken to anyone at Castle & Gatehouse at any point. We seek confirmation that those documents have been obtained legally as they are highly valuable."  

Here we point out that anyone can purchase the document we have seen from Companies House. It is available under Crown copyright, on payment of £1. Here follows a copy of the bill:-

"Your Companies House order of 18/12/2011 is now complete. Please read the following notes before downloading your order.

Price    Product and Company
1.00  PARTICULARS OF A MORTGAGE OR CHARGE / CHARGE NO: 1 for company NOVOCASTRIA DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED (07238747)  Total Price 1.00
Order Reference: 508-213551-06976736"

Due to copyright limitations, we obviously cannot post the draft loan contract here.
