But, looking into each one, I cant see a start and end date listed anywhere? See the "Particulars" tab on the loan page. I see something like this:- LOAN TERM (MIN) 1 month LOAN TERM (MAX) 113 days Is that "1 month" and "113 days" from todays date?

Do your research in advance. Make a shopping list. But, looking into each one, I cant see a start and end date listed anywhere?

If i want to invest in the secondary market, how do I know how long a loan has to run?
As has happened again today following the going live of the IOW loan, the opportunities are fleeting and I don't have time to check what's going on before someone else has swept them up!

Further to the original question (thanks, Robthos), I have interest in my account which I want to withdraw, but when I go to the UK withdrawal page it says "you have no available funds". Can anyone help or explain? Has your account got a positive balance? I.e. in the "available funds" box in the top right you have a positive amount above £0? EDIT : I think I know your problem. I you are talking about the interest indicated in your "LIVE LOANPARTS" TAB, you will have to wait until the 1st of each month for that interest to be credited to your account No, it's showing negative, I guess because the funds I've just transferred in to pay for the IOW loan hasn't been received yet Yes, I am

i've just recieved a phone call from SS asking me what i think of the platform, has anyone else recieved a call today? they also advised me that they have plenty coming through in the next few weeks/months. they did catch me unawares and was asking if i could think of anything they could do to improve the platform, i got a call last week that the Mrs answered, i was out. said they'd call back but havent. There seems to be an acute absence of investment opportunities at the moment. Most of the pipeline loans have been saying they should go live in a "few days" for more than a few days

Yes, any update? Each time I try to access the Forum using Chrome on my phone, it tells me I can use Tapatalk, but when I click the link, it opens Tapatalk which then tells me I cant access the forum.

Thanks for the replies.
I intend to cap my investment in SS at something in the order of 2% of my total investments and so I'm prepared to take a little risk to get the 12% reward, but I don't have the time nor ability to analyse each loan as it come up.
But I could/would invest considerably more, if I felt confident that I could just feed it in and leave it.

Hi all, Newbie here, get ready for the stupid questions!
To let you know where I am with SS; I have a few, small (couple of £hundred) loans put on over the last month with a view to increasing to quite a few £k overall in a month or so. I like the ease of doing it, and the clear website, showing what’s going on. I have also been impressed with the responses to questions that I have asked directly by email.
I’m not a sophisticated investor, but have some cash that’s either making me next to nothing in the bank, or bouncing up and down all over the place on the stock market. I’m looking for something that’s a bit more profitable, without the volatility of stocks (aren’t we all)!
I have investments in another p2p scheme (begins with a Z) which seems to be doing well with little involvement from myself. I just drop in from time to time, see that my total investment is increasing as expected, and that there’s not an unusual number of late repayments. I don’t have to decide which loan I want to be in, or how much, that’s all taken care of for me by the platform.
Now, SS seems to be a little different in that I get to choose which loans I want to be involved in, and how much (within reason and demand). Apart from that, would I be right in thinking that I don’t have to do too much analysis of whether the loans are ”risky” or “bad”? If they weren’t “good” they wouldn’t have made it onto SS at all, would they?
I think what I’m saying is “Is SS for the unsophisticated investor who just wants to put his money in and take the 1% a month with low’ish risk?” or is it really for the investor with the time and inclination to do lots of research and analysis? Am I OK taking a spread approach and continue to load a few hundred in each loan that becomes available?
Cheers!
