Am at the point of disinvesting as the website performance is so abysmal. One wonders how well the company is run if it can't manage its website properly.

Only problem is that listing loans for sale will take hours if not days at this rate. Grr.

Lets hope its not zopa then, they are so slooooooooooow one loses the thread of what one was trying to achieve if it loads at all without timing out. Perhaps they are both on the same platform. ;-)

Not sure how it works, but maybe there's a function where you could convert your account to auto invest/divest, and set it to sell. Just don't put 6% as the sale offer. The exchange is blocked up with loads of 6% offers which have been sitting there for months.
The exchange interface has improved a bit.

I'm ok with site speed, incl on phone and old laptop. Not happy with exchange being laborious to filter through. Also not happy when borrowers don't answer questions. I think that the auto invest mechanism just funds loans, even when the borrower dodges questions.

Nope, site speed appalling still. it's almost like they've given up on the website, which isn't a good sign for underlying company health.

Nope, site speed appalling still. it's almost like they've given up on the website, which isn't a good sign for underlying company health. I wonder whether anyone else has this. I'm curious as to how few people comment on them here, because a few more voices commenting on site functions (aside from speed) would help. I still like them...I think, but I'd like some more reassurance, eg they don't take so long to improve a website function... Having seen the listing date on the exchange for the 6% loan parts I've felt more confident in ignoring those parts, but they junk up the system. they've done some big equity raises, for example..how does that money fit into the structure?

A slow website is the least of your problems if your money is going to get stolen anyway (cf. the latest review on Trustpilot).

The loan referred to in the Trust Pilot review - Fitz****** Cons****** - is odd as it was refunded a year ago (without any particular explanation) and now shows up as a defaulted loss on the basis of being a fraudulant application.

Would agree - pretty sure they mentioned the fraud in a message when the funds where returned(or could have been when i spoke to them) but it was certainly sorted a while back,although i would be worried if their DD failed again Think by the review the customer is assuming they will get no losses either which could be a shock for them

Sorry - bit gobsmacked/worried by that Yes, would be odd if people treated differently. The loan shows up in my defaulted figures total now (added in the last few days), but I think that's an error in the system as I haven't actually lost any money from my overall total. Unless that's coming, which would mean reversing a previous credit, which would be outrageous and precipitate me taking all funds off the platform.

Unless that's coming, which would mean reversing a previous credit, which would be outrageous and precipitate me taking all funds off the platform. Interesting replies, for which many thanks. I can guarantee that this has not happened in my own case, not least because my correspondence with Crowd2Fund has been of the hard-cheese-old-chap variety (rather than e.g. claiming they had already refunded me). Their first piece of news was simply that they couldn't recover the loan, and I only pursued it because I recalled a mention of fraud that had once appeared on the relevant Q&A page, but is now down the memory hole. I was expecting to find more fuss about this online (here?) but I guess most people quite reasonably believed what they were told, viz. that this was a bad debt and not a con from the start.
