Yep, got the same. a long explanation of why FCA not culpable followed by compensation, which is linked to the delay and not any loss itself. Nearly missed the offer as the letter was so long winded.

This was the one decent outcome from the sorry mess. Unbelievable.

Any updates on the use of Assetz Exchange? I am thinking of dipping my toe in. the latest promo is suggestive of a strong pipeline of new properties (19) with solid long term lease potential. I have been badly burnt by LY, FS in the past so don't want to take too high a risk.

"Not all terrorists are Muslim"- No, but a sizeable number are because aspects of the religion they preach Bollocks, frankly. There are Christians murdering and bombing in the name of their religion. There are Hindus murdering and bombing in the name of their religion. There are Buddhists murdering and bombing in the name of their religion. There are Jews murdering and bombing in the name of their religion. They are murdering people who ostensibly share their religion, but who differ on detail, as well as those who do not share their religion. Are there "aspects of the religion they preach", too? Or is religion being used as a simple excuse for the actions of individuals? With all due respect I do not know of any of the above religions which display a genuine threat to my loved ones or a secular way of life. I am unfortunately aware of certain ways of interpreting the Koran which, in the hands of deplorable individuals, can lead to viewpoints which do. The only positive solutions I can come up with involve moderate Muslims assisting in supporting the vulnerable within their community to take a more peaceful path in life. This may well be happening, but I am not aware of it in the mainstream media. I can think of one or two high profile muslims who could do more though.

"not all muslims are terrorists."- Of course not, the vast vast majority are law abiding, decent people
"Not all terrorists are Muslim"- No, but a sizeable number are because aspects of the religion they preach, when taken to the extreme would happily destroy western democracy. The solutions can only come from within the muslim community (who seemingly lack any kind of leadership apparently willing to do so), not from the "lone wolf internet user" and "mental health" narrative which don't actually get to the heart of the problem. All I can see coming out of this are increase spending on police protection for MP's (maybe taken away from public protection), increased spending on mental health causes (worthy, but not a solution here and taking funds away from other important health care funding) and tighter controls on internet use.

Think you're being generous. It is almost certain that he has been assassinated a member of parliament for his religious beliefs, views or lifestyle choice. Very similar to the hundreds of other attacks that take place seemingly on a weekly / monthly basis across Europe on the general public. Until this simple fact is addressed head on there will be no resolution apart from solutions which detract from the freedoms our society have enjoyed for decades. Tough/ honest decisions need to be made, but better made by moderate political parties than far right ones.

"Is there any evidence as yet he's a follower of Islam"
Joke, right?

Sorry, maybe I haven't been keeping up.
However, what are funding circles future plans? Will they re-open lending to investors or are they moving onto another model?. I notice they are profitable again and the share price is indicative of near term survival, so where are they heading?

While RS has generally been a good service, this deal stinks.
As the article states, it is a related party transaction. The loan book should at least have been auctioned off (or been valued as such) - which would have generated more money FOR US - the people who have just ridden out the main risk time, when interest rates were cut to build up the provision fund.
The article makes clear it is a great deal for Metro - meaning they are getting assets on the cheap - from us.
But surely you need to look at the bigger picture. Ratesetter was clearly a very troubled company, its losses were possibly heralding the death knell for the company and Metro bank stepped in to buy them for a meagre 2.5 million. This was done in the knowledge they would get a a good deal on the loan book. I am sure many are just relieved a route out was made available.

<removed by moderator> How is this not illegal?? Ratesetter should share out the provision find in proportion of all outstanding debts per investor to all investors as part of the closedown. As a minimum, they should return the additional funds which were paid by investors during this pandemic. And there is the matter of loans which still have up to s to run many of which return over 5% interest. Metro Bank should be paying - let us say - at least 2% on all outstanding capital. Ratesetter has dropped this “fast bomb” on everybody because they are scared of litigation. <removed by moderator> Haha, Clearly you have not been an investor in LY, FS, COL , MT etc or you could not say that with a straight face.
