Well, that's a turn up for the books isn't it? Today's email gives us another chance to get out fee-free, though I would have thought just exiting from those particular loans would have been more likely. So Grumps, continued slow exit, keeping my existing 6%+ average going, or abandon ship? Banana time.

I didn't take the previous "get out of RS free card" but I think that I will this time.

I might just hang around - simply because I'm not persuaded that the other platforms I would deploy funds to would necessarily be any 'safer'.

I've got a nice wedge earning 6.1%. I think I'll just withdraw repayments and lend through Zopa+
I cant see me getting 6.1% on RS for several years sadly, as I'd like extra platform diversification to Zopa and FC, and a few bob in FUnding Secure.

I haven't received any email from RS and I have no idea what this thread is about. Anybody care to enlighten me as to what this 'bombshell' is?

Can anyone detect a burned finger smell?
The worst shock is the £12m loss which RS has absorbed rather than the provision fund. The PF clearly could not have withstood this kind of disaster.
I am continuing to slowly remove repayments.
Without the FCA disapproval RS would still be gambling in these markets, so a plus for regulation.

I'm equally in the dark. Where do I find the PMs to get this message? (Sorry for the newbie question).

No email for me either. I must admit my curiosity is piqued. I wonder why they should email some investors and not others? Perhaps it is because I am only in the 5 year market and have only been withdrawing for many months.

Perhaps it is because I am only in the 5 year market and have only been withdrawing for many months. I'm in the rolling market and didn't get any email. Maybe it's for people in the 1 year market? It's strange they haven't emailed everyone because it seems like quite big news.

I had assumed it was a messaging system on the RS site that they had used instead of email and I couldn't find it there. Feeling silly now...
