I am sure we're all 100% behind UB but how did they loan someone like this so much money? Unbolted do not do credit checks. They advertise that fact. Not sure how they would know without doing them.

Due to the lack of my own understanding of the platform and cash drag in the beginning, I over-invested this borrowers "standard" loans a bit via Auto-Lend. Although my portfolio in UB have been re-balanced over the past 12 months, I am unable to reduce accrued interest due to this case. XIRR (excluding accrued interest) is 6.88%.

Running down at the moment just leaving £150 in for the tasty large loans. Just got £502.92p repayment (loan paid off). 2 months interest was the minimum interest period. Start date 19 December. That's what I mean by a tasty loan. Lots of beer tonight?

People need to define cash drag after taking out the alternative. In my case Marcus 1.4%. Therefore anything not earnings interest is loosing me 1.4%.

It's effectively 4.8% for me as any extra cash awaiting investment gets placed in Loanpad (includes some referral boosts). I appreciate it isn't FSCS protected there, but with average LTVs of 25% and hefty lending partners, I'm happy with the risk/reward balance.

I looked on the home page and they said "60% maximum loan to value". I take it there is page which gives average LTV? Who are the lending partners? Us? I might need a refer a friend link!!

Hi sd2, not sure where you saw the 60% LTV figure, I couldn't seem to find it. They currently have 22 loans with an average LTV of 25% and a maximum LTV of 50%. The stats are available on the Live Data Feed once logged in. There is an intention to use more loan partners, but they currently use just one; HandF Finance Limited. The partner takes on the junior position in each loan (the second charge), so they (HandF) stand to lose all of their investment in a loan before we, senior partners, lose a penny, hence they have a very big incentive to choose projects wisely.

Really! I thought I would be limited to 10%, not that I have anywhere near enough friends for that 😥. Or do you have some other Early Adopter or Big Hitter bonus that I'm unaware of?

Is there anywhere where we can see a transcript of the court hearing? I would be interested to read the arguments made by both sides, and of course the judge's verdict. I'm not sure if this sort of information is in the public domain? Going back to Sept and the failed application for disclosure of the names of the 612 individual lenders for his 42 UB loans. Not sure how long this has been available, but I have found the full judgment is open access on a website called Casemine. Can't give a link as it would identify the borrower. This is the judge setting out his reasons for not granting the application, and it tells you everything about the character of this borrower and the judge's disdain for his attitude. Also reveals what is sought - damages and release from paying the interest or repaying the loans. UB's team offered (not taken up) to lodge a £25K bond as likely to be more than required should damages be awarded against them (in the future hearing). Also some IMO veiled criticism of the 'London Loan' judge who set the precedent for disclosing lenders' names to a P2P borrower. And that case, incidentally, is also available on the same website. Lenders in the loans should look at the judgment, if they want an insight into the toxicity of this character and the malice towards us that he was stupid enough to reveal in a long threatening letter to UB, which clearly appalled the judge.
