The FCA has said that Collateral had interim permission but the permission was not for peer to peer lending or running an electronic platform. FCA claims that they unaware that Collateral was running a peer to peer platform electronically.
But then when you look at Albrate they also did not have interim permission for peer to peer lending or interim permission for running an electronic platform.
So why is it one rule for one platform and a different rule for another?
Also is anyone happy about BDOs performance? The last update was never emailed out and we are expected to check on the website daily to see if there are any updates. BDO was planning to publish the next update in 2020, when they were told that this is not good enough they now say by the end of 2019.
BDO has breakdowns for some investors transactions, they said that they would not give this out because then they would have to do the same for everyone. Is this what we want to pay BDO for? Doing half a job? They are now working on providing a breakdown for everyone.

FCA claims that they unaware that Collateral was running a peer to peer platform electronically. The facts are different. I understand you may be looking at the FCA Consumer Credit Interim Permissions Register here for Interim Permission reference 656714 which showed as Collateral (UK) Ltd from 12 December 2015 until 29 January 2018. This permission actually was given to Regal Pawnbroker Limited. However, if you look at the FCA website here you will see that on 23 March 2016, Collateral (UK) Ltd made an application to the FCA for full permissions, but under the interim permission reference 656714 which was for Regal Pawnbroker. If you look here on the FCA website, you will see that Collateral (UK) Ltd paid the FCA an application fee of £1,500. The FCA has confirmed in unpublished disclosures that they were aware Collateral was trading as a peer-to-peer lending platform, and that the ineligible application received by the FCA on 24 March 2016 did include "operating an electronic system in relation to lending".

Any idea where I would find the unpublished disclosures.
