Gosh,very sorry to hear this news westonkev. Your frank, informative responses here boosted my confidence in RS - specifically in the calibre of its personnel, heh - to the point where they have the lion's share of my p2p money. Thanks for all the information and the posts. Some of them were very funny Best of luck wherever you're off to.

Thanks for all the information and the posts. Some of them were very funny Best of luck wherever you're off to. I second that! I embraced RS and Z in 2103, mainly to test the water due to growing frustration and dissatisfaction with all other saving and income vehicles. I ramped up my investments over the next two years, finally in early 2016 committing rather too much and exposing myself, I felt, to too much risk. This was due to the fact that , trying as as best I could , I didn't properly understand how to show due diligence and find the necessary information. I very quickly in 2014 showed a preference to the RS model over Z however. When push came to shove in the late Spring this year, I found this forum which has helped me enormously. Having direct contact with reps likewise. I felt it was a win win situation. I have learned a lot from the comments and collective wisdom here. At last I feel comfortable with the approach to securing an income and the levels I now have invested. Without the forum and WK, I might have been forced to effectually withdraw everything. ...and I would have been spitting teeth at the alternatives FCA on offer........

<abbr data-timestamp="1478334444000" class="o-timestamp time" title="Nov 5, 2016 4:27:24 GMT 1">Nov 5, 2016 4:27:24 GMT 1</abbr> jackpease said I am looking aghast at the SS threads atm - massive amounts of negativity and endless demands for a comment which can never be satiated - and if they were would prompt a further bout of negativity and demands for answers. I think SS will be the next to decide how much engagement they have with this forum because as you have said previously, engagement worked in the past but now just seems to fan the flames of DM-style negativity. The character of this forum has changed - despite the best efforts of the mods who are now also a target for all the woes of the world - the really useful due diligence is being swamped by suspicion and mistrust - SS used to be the 'current darling' - Moneything is the current darling - as that gets overpopular and rates droop so people will turn on that platform too. Jack P SS lost a whole lot of cred (trust if you prefer) when we found out that had an undisclosed equity interest in the borrower on a loan which had what looks like an inflated valuation (pbl20). I cannot imagine what comment they could make which would make it OK (well I can, a confession of error and a concrete commitment not to do it or anything similar again). They deserve every bit of criticism they got.
