Well that was the usual waste of time unless you possess a nuclear powered PC.

Managed to grab a slice of this one but missed the NI workshop loan this morning. I suspect the £250 limit at least allowed some of the humans a chance. I agree though for the few loans I would actually want to invest in on FS that it's a frustrating experience unless you run a bot.

Really annoying. Having spent some time housekeeping so that I had my £250 ready to go on a few accounts it is really frustrating to miss out completely.
I'm not sure if the FS servers are to blame or the internet connection that I'm using is not strong enough but I was repeatedly thrown out before I could complete a single bid.
This is just the sort of loan that I used to be able to pick up and forms the backbone of my FS holdings so it's a worry if I can't buy into new ones to replace old ones that redeem.

Id suggest its been your lucky day then...the DD on the NI workshop loan revealed the VR had contradictory information regarding leasehold/freehold status despite todays loan being yet another renewal. And yes, my 7year old notebook with Auntie Beattie broadband allowed to me to help myself to a slice of the Scarborough Fair cake even though I'm human..ish. This message will self destruct in 10 seconds

I managed to also get a piece, on both accounts...and I was just using a normal PC
However I had no chance on the Workshop loan earlier!

When my screen loaded there was £0 invested and my investment was in the first handful ...just on a normal pc

Well that was the usual waste of time unless you possess a nuclear powered PC. Did you try this time. I pressed the wrong button in my haste and lost out. 😢 Gone in nano seconds.

Really annoying V2.
Borrower increases loan to pay for roof repairs so FS decide to pay off the old loan and start a new one.
My efforts picking up scraps at a premium all gone to waste.
Then they release the new loan without any restrictions.
All on a website that throws you out if more than 5 people at the same time are even thinking about the loan.
Thanks for nothing FS.

No, VERY rarely buy anything on FS these days. Like a lot of peeps, waiting eagerly for the return of my five figures which are looooong overdue.

Bought some of the previous loan at a premium on the secondary market five minutes before it was closed because I didn't see the email about it. Not sure why they still allow it to be sold when it is being replaced the same day. Well done to those who nicked my few quid there! In the past they have locked out loans from the secondary market when they are due to be replaced, not consistent at all.
Add to that you cannot roll over your investment in the previous loan to the new one even though they have allowed that in the past when the loan has increased in size. Again, not consistent, and again costing me money.
To top it all off the people on the live chat don't have a clue when you try to explain these inconsistencies to them.

If I was a BH - which I'm not - I wouldn't expect to be sitting there playing the FFF game.
All obvious conjecture IMO - so not based on proof.
