UK ACORN,FARM FINANCE,DES PHILLIPS,BEWARE!!!!!

If they do get their money back, they will be the first, and I doubt it will be without a considerable first.
Very curious about the re-mortgage with Barclays though.
Would have thought once bitten twice shy, but then he knows where the bodies are buried I suppose.
Perhaps as is the case with the p2p lenders somebody didn't make the connection,if he's got a clean credit record and no alarm bells ring,why dig deeper.

Rather ,protracted discussion about the borrower in the peer to peer forum,speculation about whether or not they might get their money back but some people want to give poor old chap the benefit of the doubt:banghead::banghead:
For purpose of absolute clarity. If you ever fall into the trap of giving Phillips the benefit of any doubt you can rest assured he will repay you in an unsavoury manner and he uses a very big stick.
I occasionally see reference to son Victor and of course there is another son. I cast no aspersions, it is in the public domain the other son is in the employ of non other than Grant Thornton.
Linkedin is very useful at times.

Putting together a very impressive CV,last I heard he was at Milsted Langdon.Just needs a spell working in a High street bank recoveries unit to become the finished item,the heir apparent:eek::eek:
 
Latest suggestions from our investors site is that Captain Smith has again taken a firm hand on the wheel of the Titanic.
Surely this can't be the news that Victor Phillips has resigned from Brent Farms Ltd,to be replaced by that old pair of safe hands,Des 'the juggler'Phillips.

Useful to have other researchers on the case, perhaps.
At this rate they will be catching us up for posts, in a month or so, unless theer is a happy ending for them..
Des does attract a lot of comment!
 
Good old James Hurley good article straight to point usual !
Perfectly fair I thought,hopefully Saving Stream and their investors won't see it as overly bad publicity,todays news,tomorrows chip paper and all that.We can only expect them to say what they have,after all they owe their investors every chance to either sell out of this investment or recover their investment in 70 odd days time.If they do experience problems then that is the time to let rip and admit that they too were had.
Just another example of what shouldn't have happened had the authorities acted when they were warned.
 
Des must have been so happy when son Victors company were able to get their asset back after the unfortunate demise of Agricultural Finance PLC, rather different to the situation when UK Country Capital went into administration.Even more fortunate when Mudgley Farms Ltd sold Walrow to Brent Farms Ltd for £650K ,so the rumour goes,financed with Saving Stream to the tune of £450K.Presume this money went to repay the Agribonds investors who we understand were financing AF Ltd.

What about the pigs and the Waitrose contract? Wasn't that what they wanted the money for, to increase production from 5,000 to 10,000 per annum? Are there any pigs at all, or is it yet another "Highbridge" story?

That,or they're telling Waitrose porkies,I think you might be able to spot the pig arcs on google earth.
Or they are telling Saving Stream porkies.
It all puts a different complexion on his farming victims. No wonder he was able to mislead (or defraud) us, if he was able to fool fellow "financial professionals".
Maybe we weren't such fools after all.

Well they must have had legal advice,or thats what's levelled at us.Perhaps the solicitors in this case knew just a bit more than they were letting on,especially as NFU panel solicitors,who'd been recommended to fight against Phillips.
Mind you, anything that comes out of that part of the world is covered with that thick professional scum that makes it rather hard to get to the facts.

But surely since they, as N.F.U. Solicitors reached the conclusion that they did in the case against Phillips, and this occuring in the same period of time as acting for Phillips in securing these loans, was there not a conflict of interest in which Phillips prevailed? Yet another example of incestuous symbiosis at play!!!
