I assume that you have read the excellent summary by
LittleFred earlier in this thread (dated 10th December) which covers most of what I know about the exploits of Guy Taylor. I also offer a few more pieces of information and my opinion. The real truth of the situation is hard to discern because GT has been so good at dissembling and I haven't yet found any court transcripts to give a clear understanding of the facts.
It's hard to believe that the property portfolio he inherited was worth £4 million in 2007 as he would only needed to sell a minor part of it to cover the death duties rather than take out a loan for £824,000. Of course, we only have GTs word on the value of the estate but being charitable this would have been before the property price crash.
GT has confessed that he meandered through life without serious employment; running an illegal nightclub and of course being imprisoned for counterfeiting US currency. Unless he had suddenly buckled down to meaningful employment, it's doubtful that the estate was generating enough income to fund the repayments on the £824,000 loan. My guess is that the supposedly "fraudulent" second loan was in fact the result of the bank restructuring the original debt and defaulted repayments.
GT's claim to have made loan repayments in cash (with the receipts to prove it) don't seem to have cut much ice and I believe a Bankruptcy Order was issued (probably around 2010/11?). There is reference to it in the account of his court appearance given by Veronica Chapman by which time he was also embroiled in actions about non-payment of correct electricity charges and council tax at Bodenham Manor as well as his attempts to initiate actions against various people - oh and some motoring offences.
A lot of the minor issues hinged on whether Bodenham Manor was a residential or commercial property. Despite some evidence to the contrary which I posted earlier, GT alleged that the Manor had not been used for any commercial activity since 2005 and seems to have had a success at least the challenging the electricity charges. I would guess that he had less success with the Bankruptcy Order which led to the disposal of the minor properties.

Cutting through all the BS that GT propagates, the next meaningful action was earlier this year when he appealed, apparently unsuccessfully, against (the same?) Bankruptcy Order as well as seeking to introduce all the other issues about the fraudulent loan etc. It was this hearing that paved the way for his eviction from Bodenham Manor in April
The following is an extract from a letter from David Fabb of Alpa Forensics, one of the "legal experts" helping GT. I claim no credit for the wonderful typing and spelling:
The hearing was, purportedly, for the Court to consider anApplication by Guy of The Taylql Family
for annulment/voiding of a patently false Bankruptcy Order made against him. Mr Taylor exhipited
good evidence that the "Trustee" in the case had no standing, being debarred by the SRA and f4w
Society Rules to practice as a Solicitor, and,thus, a Trustee due to his having a criminal recprd fpr,
among other of[ences, benefit fraud.
There existed another case within the Court in which Guy of the Taylor Family seeks reme$r
against Barclays Bank. In that case, good evidence was before the Court of serious comrption
within Barclays, whereby a named Manager had "manufactured" a circa f900K "loan" puroortedly
made to Thylor, additional to a previous, largely paid-off loan for a similar but lesser amouat. The
evidence seen by us suggests this is a further example of Bank Offrcials generating false, bogus
"loans" for the gain of the bank employees by way of commission incentive. This practice is
widespread and accounts for a part of the massive heist of moneys within the failed banking system
of this country.
Judge insisted, on the day, to consolidate the claims/hearings, contrary to proper practice.
We, along with some 25 or so citizens in the public gallery heard what can only be termed a
travesty of a hearing- a "kangaroo Court". The Judge, who had compromised himself in earlier
hearings, delivered what was clearly a pre-written (by whom?) judgment against the Applicant. He
airily dismissed protestations that neither of the Respondents, the bogus "Trustee in Bankruptcy"
nor the aliegedly corrupt bank manager, were in court and available for cross-examination.
Parties who WERE in court, included a well-known Barrister specialising in securing false
Bankruptcy Orders, 2 Solicitors from a prominent firm acting for Barclays and 2 unidentified
t'suits"

Subsequent to his eviction, Bodenham Manor was sold, GT re-occupied it, he was evicted again and now is waiting trial on trespass charges.
Obviously GT is fighting these charges as well as taking out various private prosecutions and no doubt has other unspecified appeals and actions pending. However, everything that GT does is based on the fact that he doesn't owe the bank anything because the £904k loan was fraudulent, therefore the bankruptcy, eviction and everything else bad in this life is fraudulent too. I suspect this will run and run because GT has literally nothing to lose and at least some kind of living to be gained by maintaining his position as a leader of the "lawful rebellion".
I should just mention that his wife Linda has also been quietly following her own path as a free woman:
