Just like last week, I kept trying in 2 different browsers (for 2 different accounts) and never got anything except errors for 20 minutes until the loan sold out! What a farce!

That's 23 minutes of my life I'm never going to have back again.

Two accounts sat at two computers for 25mins. Not a sausage!

I started at 1pm. It took 4 goes to invest on my ISA a/c (before hitting the last 10%). I've been trying ever since on my standard a/c and got nowhere. Loads of system busy msgs and a few car crashes thrown in to boot!

'Maximum you can bid is 0'... so I guess that's filled. Not the end of the world. The bid limit was a judgement call balancing breadth of access with speed of fill. Perhaps it could be lower next time. Pleased that it filled, even if without my minuscule, non-life-changing contribution. Bring on the next one.

Must have bid at least 20 times all to no avail. Each time presented with "....system was busy with ongoing requests" ABLrate, I think your platform needs a good looking at. markyg61 : that has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of understatement I've read in ages
You've really given me a giggle even after such a pathetic debacle!!

So 100 people get £3000 and the rest of us will have to buy bits off them at a premium.

As we said in the email.. we have added the concurrent trading code to the last 10% of the loan o that it doesn't over fund. This seems to have assisted the initial part of the loan... but as w said in the email... because this is small loan it would likely occur at the end. Worked very well till that last 10% then is slowed down excellent response times given the amount of people trying to get a slice many thanks

Worked terribly for me - tried continually from exactly 13:00 with no luck. Very unsatisfied customer.

It was 17% filled when I first tried, just after 1:00, and I kept getting busy messages from then to the end.

Nothing but error messages again for me, although I was late to the party... missed the first 10 minutes of availability and apparently the first 90% of the loan. Errors need fixing and limits need setting appropriately, otherwise the platform will just be too frustrating to bother with for buying on the primary market... I get a better return for time invested on Premium Bonds!
