One of my loans is just overdue. Let me rephrase that ...I've got loads of loans that are overdue but the one to which i refer is just a few days late.
The latest comment is that the borrower hopes to renew in a few weeks.
It crosses my mind that if FS had contacted the borrower a month earlier then the 'few weeks' in which the borrower plans to renew would be now, and co-incide with the date that it's actually due.
Just a thought....

Perhaps FS could introduce a card index file where every loan has its own card and as the calendar evolves provoke a reminder as it progresses towards maturity..but on second thoughts that's probably a bit too technical for the whizz kids at HO...Jesus H I despair  |

Never hurts to state the bleeding obvious but even that doesn't seem to be enough for FS. Lack of people I suspect.

I have to admit that I always thought a loan was due for repayment on the day of its exact renewal and not some vague date a few weeks later. Clearly not in the world of fundingsecure! |

That is why I have quickly become so disillusioned with fundingsecure. Don’t they have any T&Cs for borrowers? They are the ones who should be making the contact. Get them to ask if they need a few extra days to complete, or pay the interest due, show they are still viable, person of substance, and apply to renew. They can still terminate early. fs are making a rod for their own back, creating extra work. Give the impression of absolute chaos. Lose investors trust, confidence and ultimately customers. FS really do need to make it clear if their very high risk borrowers don’t renew on time they risk paying for aborted (?) recovery proceedings. What baffles me is how many developers have supposedly put up 30%+ of their own money (the 70% max LTV), yet go into such high risk gambles. Why not start on projects within their capabilities and much lower borrowings? Greed? “Neither a borrower nor a lender be; / For loan oft loses both itself and friend.” I was told when knee high to grasshopper. (Polonius in Hamlet)

Maybe they do, but the consequence of not getting a full repayment or the loan renewed on the 6 months anniversary means that the loan is automatically defaulted. This is not happening and is in breach of FS's Ts&Cs

Now over two months since we were told a certain ex-local authority tower block would be getting renewed "shortly".

Thanks for that though you're the 1st investor ever in my time on FS to allude to that..and if true goes a long way to explain the appalling state of affairs. I wonder where your intel came from ? It makes the current situation more plausible, albeit unacceptable but by default, FS's amateurish administration toothless and not fit for purpose. Investors have every right to vent their spleens in such circumstance and explains why there is so much angst, frustration and no little sarcasm directed at FS. Comparisons with a whelk stall are inevitable.
