Morning
I used to be with FC but I think they went downhill and completely lost control of their property loans. Sooner or later., I expect many more property loans to be defaulted I am really not giving my money to FC to get under 8% (in many) cases for unsecured loans.
I thought FS was a better bet as their loans are secured but I am very disappointed to read all the justified comments about their tardiness in dealing with late payers. Can anybody tell me if FS have actually repossessed any of their assets and if so how long it took and what percentage was recovered.
Thanks a lot

One distinct advantage of FS over FC is that any registered lender can see the entire FS loan book history. Go to "All active and past loans" and sort by the "Defaulted" column.
"Unredeemed" = defaulted loans still awaiting resolution
"Recovered" = defaulted loans recovered in full
"Defaulted" = defaulted loans that ended up with some sort of a shortfall (there are only 6 of these to date)
The "Loan updates" tab on each individual loan then gives chapter and verse on what occurred (or the "General information" tab for older loans)
In addition to "Unredeemed" loans (which have formally been defaulted), there is a very long list of loans that are wildly late but still categorised as "Live" ...

It should be said that there are a fair few under this category. Some over 12 months old...

As can any registered lender on FC. No, lenders can't review the details of defaulted FC loans unless they have money in them (unless FC have recently changed this, which I doubt). They can only download summary loan book figures.

thanks for the above - very disappointed to see so many unredeemed loans
Ref the loan I mentioned; I have found it and sorry it is not a posh part of London but K*****b****** in North Yorkshire. The comments about this now bankrupt husband read like a script from Minder!
This chap had 3 houses with I think 1 or 2 having a second charge with FC. Clearly the main p2p lender has now got control of these house and is getting control of the rent etc- I wonder if this is a collapsing house of cards and I really can't see much of the second charge being recovered
Anybody who wants this loan id is welcome to PM me.

Poor management from FS, although unredeemed heading towards 6k in my portfolio of 21k, highlights are the updates posted every weekend, entertaining  |

My 11 year old Niece would have difficulty believing the updates posted but this just reflects the contempt FS show towards investors.
It's time the mismanagement of FS was challenged, and I have the time, experience and patience to do just that.

Had a portfolio of ca 70k but now only unredeemed 9k left. Would support a class action if enough forumites were to join in.
