If you look both companies incorporated at the same time, 08 Aug 2017 WHETSTONE CAPITAL GROUP PLC & 17 Jul 2017 GUILDFORD STREET CAPITAL LIMITED and if you look at the Incorporation Statement of capital WHETSTONE CAPITAL GROUP PLC, GUILDFORD STREET CAPITAL LIMITED is a relevant legal entity and has a controlling interest in Whet above 75% of the share capita.
My own view on how thing went down is, for months they created interest and hype in Whet by promising free share to us WRN share holders, then finally announcing incorporation but only be able to sell the shares with a share certificate. Then more hype with the supposed trades and deals in the pipeline which managed to raise the SP 34.5+ then dropping down. I believe the majority of the 5,000,000+ brought where sold by GUILDFORD STREET CAPITAL LIMITED into the market as they would of had free access to share certificates and they do not have to release a Tr1
i made a complaint against GUILDFORD STREET CAPITAL LIMITED through the https://www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/ExternalOnlineForms/CompanyComplaint.aspx and i also did one for Whet the day before.
Their response for GUILDFORD STREET CAPITAL LIMITED is
Dear Mr Petri
GUILDFORD STREET CAPITAL LIMITED
Thank you for your complaint about the above company, which we received on 5th December 2019.
Our decision
It is not appropriate to use the powers available to the Insolvency Service to investigate the company at this time.
How we reached our decision
In certain circumstances the Insolvency Service has powers to carry out investigations into companies that are currently trading. These powers are reserved for cases where there are very serious concerns and there is suspicion of ongoing fraud or very serious misconduct and the matters of concern are not the responsibility of any other regulator.
We considered the information you supplied, together with other information that is available to us. We found that there were either no grounds, or there were not enough grounds, to ask the Secretary of State to authorise an investigation.
They have not responded yet to the one i made the day before for Whet. So for me this is a good sign that they are going to investigate Whet
No they have not gone bust but your Gifted shares are worthless. All you can do now is follow this link and report then yo Investigations and Enforcement Services and with enough people doing this the Company and Directors will get investigated and maybe prosecuted or band from doing this in the future.

Hi PollyPotoroo, i can only tell you in England & Wales in 2018-2019 455,297 Companies where struck off and dissolved.
Yes the Conformation Statement is pretty easy to complete with Companies House Web Filing Service. Takes about 5 Minutes. By going down this route,compulsory strike off the Company can be stuck off and avoid paying tax
"HMRC’s objections to a strike-off application can be disappointing for directors who are genuinely trying to close down a failed venture and not deliberately avoiding paying tax.
However, the process is required to prevent unscrupulous individuals from trading and subsequently allowing their company to be struck off by not responding to correspondence from Companies House and in this way avoiding paying tax owed"
PollyPotoroo while i agree with what you have said, we also need to remember the compulsory strike off was due to the director not doing the Conformation Statement and this is why Companies House is taking action.
The last company accounts where over a year ago and in that time they could have liquidated any assets and paid themselves Bonuses, Salaries, Expenses, a good accountant and the money disappears. Once the company is struck off their would be nothing to go too the Grown. Yes the company would still have to file a Corporation Tax return with final accounts but that would be to HMRC and would not be in the public domain.
At the moment they do not have too, as the account are due by 29 February 2020 with Companies House. At the moment they are only are only late with the Confirmation Statement, If the account become overdue then they can not extend the accounting piriod
Thanks Mccarefree, just need people to make complaints to https://www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/ExternalOnlineForms/CompanyComplaint.aspx then with enough complaints the state will investigate and then hopefully in the future these Directors and Co will not do the same again
So for the moment company is NOT getting struck off till 2020

Yes addicknt that is correct. The system we have in this country is trust. All Tax Returns, Self Assessment and Company Accounts Ect Ect are submitted to the sate I.E HMRC electronically. The only time things are investigated, if either the Computer send up a Red flag and directs it to a Human or a complaint is made. So unless the state knows their are assets, it will not look to seize them. Their are too many Companies in the UK for each ones accounts to be checked manually as they are reported, the same with self Assessment
Yes they belong to Creditors and Shareholders but unless the Company is struck through Members’ Voluntary Liquidation or forced Liquidation like Worthingtion Plc then we will never know what happened to the assets.
This is why people should object to Company House and also Complaint to https://www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/ExternalOnlineForms/CompanyComplaint.aspx before its too late.
addicknt yes that is true if the company requested to be struck off but according to Company House that is not the case
"Please note that as the proposed dissolution is by compulsory action, meaning the Registrar is taking steps to remove the company because of non-compliance, the directors are not obliged to inform their creditors or shareholders as they would be if it was a voluntary application."
So they can run of with any assets if they are stuck off.
This i have reported to HMRC https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/shortforms/form/TEH_IRF
Made a complaint to https://www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/ExternalOnlineForms/CompanyComplaint.aspx
and Companies House
This is because as per company account, as of end 08/2018 the company had net assets of over £400,000
I have also made a complaint to https://www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/ExternalOnlineForms/CompanyComplaint.aspx and others should do the same, it is a free service and maybe for once Directors can not just shut up shop and run
THIS COMPANY WAS SETUP BY THE DIRECTORS OF LIQUIDATED WORTHINGTON PLC. I WAS CLAIMED TO COMPENSATE WORTHINGTON SHAREHOLDERS. YOU COULD ONLY TRADE ON https://www.britdaq.com/.
THEN OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS RNS WHERE RELEASED ABOUT ALL THE TRANSACTION THE COMPANY WAS DOING, WHICH ALL CAME TO NOTHING AS WAS JUST HYPE.
NOW THE COMPANY IS GETTING STRUCK OFF BY COMPANIES HOUSE, AS PER COMPANY ACCOUNTS THEIR ARE £400,000 OF ASSETS NOT GETTING ACCOUNTED FOR.
THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE FORCED INTO LIQUIDATION SO THE LIQUIDATORS CAN INVESTIGATE
Received a replay from Company House
Dear Mr Petri,
WHETSTONE CAPITAL GROUP PLC – 10905791
Thank you for your email dated 319 November 2019.
Please note that as the proposed dissolution is by compulsory action, meaning the Registrar is taking steps to remove the company because of non-compliance, the directors are not obliged to inform their creditors or shareholders as they would be if it was a voluntary application.
We are unable to register your objection unless more substantial documentary evidence is provided.
Please provide evidence such as invoices, court documents, general correspondence or emails between you and the company, to show that you are actively pursuing the company for an outstanding debt.
All evidence should be recent and dated within the last 6 months and must show the full company name, including the word 'Limited', or equivalent.
I have placed a temporary hold of 14 days from today on dissolution action. If no reply is received, dissolution action will resume after this period, which may result in the company being struck off the register.
Please confirm whether you would be agreeable for your identity, as the objector, to be disclosed.
Yours sincerely,

Same old complaints about AIM that you hear all the time. Yet these same people come tomorrow will make trades in the same market that they think is corrupted.
People should just accept the facts they are Gambling on AIM. People want high returns and they want it quick.
What i load of nonsense people are posting about MM today.
On the one hand LO is selling and their is Forward selling of placing shares, and on the other hand MM are pushing down the price to mop up shares.
The only thing that influences I3e Energy SP is the institutions that control 75% of the share in issue
