Just for the record, I would not recommend a "newbie" invest in either of the two platforms mentioned. One is going through a very difficult time in terms of defaults and credit performance (@magenta17 your dedication to this platform is surprisingly sycophantic, and you seem a big fan of the software firm.....) and the other requires high initial lending amounts (or used to, as far as I recall).

westonkevRS ,
trials will either make one stronger or break you, I would agree with you and I've stated elsewhere that the unambiguous wealth warning posted 'on the door' on this Leeds based Portal and other investment destinations which fall outwith the umbrella of statutory compensatory schemes are flagged for a very good reason:
that is your capital is at risk of default or loss. The final decision on whether to lend or not rests with the lender, risks can be found as intrinsic to many aspects of ones life it is in how one identifies, accepts/declines or manages those risks that will likely determine the outcome. The headline interests rates being offered investors there and elsewhere are perhaps reflective of those associated risks, though this should not be taken as a universally applicable rule of thumb...as investments can go awry at any rate.
Kevin, when any British Company excels in any given field [in this case P2X Software design] then this should be applauded and commended just so happens to be Rebuilding Society's Sister Company.
Kevin if you'd wished to have been more overtly offensive towards your visitor then perhaps an applicable synonym could be chosen from the list below, as for me I wouldn't stoop so low as to emulate you so instead I'll wish you and those with you the very best for this Bank Holiday Monday.
