Queueing time seems to grow about a week every week. My number of loans keeps dropping. Wondering whther t's worth leaving my money in there still.

I tried with Chrome and it worked. Guess that's the easiest thing until Zopa have fixed the problem. It may work with MS Edge, or the old Internet Exploder, I suppose.
I also managed to get into my non-ISA accont through the "Profile" option and then "invetment Summary" at the bottom of that page.

Sees to me that the buttons on the dashbord panel to get to your inventment account and ISA are not working today. They didn't work yesterday when I tried. Is it just me that the system hates?
I'm using Firefox.

Phrasing of the next vote The borrower has sent us the following bul****. Because we trust him implicitly, and he has never let us down, we are able to strongly recommend you agree to it by voting A. Vote result: 85% 'A', '15%', come back next year. Option A 30% of your money back in 5 years time Option B 30% of your money back in vouchers for the restaurant in 5 years time Its AC who are at fault now, this should never have been allowed to go on this long and AC need to change the rules to prevent it happening again. Option B looks pretty good to me! Shame I have no money in this one!

Looks OK to me at 17:15 on the MLA. Number of Transactions processed around 14:00.

I passed too, 100% first time. Bleeding obvious choices really if you know what it's all about.
Do we get a prize?

Somebody else raised the issue in the case of one of the recently failed companies.
Suggestion was that administrator's primary obligation is to the shareholders of the company, and they have little obligation to the p2p lenders.
Probably the principal hope would be that the administrators would sell the loan book to another P2P company. This would depend on whether there was any value in administering the loan book through the rundown period, and/or the lenders' mailing list - at a time when faith in the p2p concept was failing.
Theoretically, our loans are with the borrowers, so we would have recourse to them, but only the administrators would have a record of who was owed what. It would probabaly not be worth an individual pursuing the matter unless they had a 5-figure sum in one or more of the loans, and could prove it.

So probably everyone's had their fill and it's only new joiners to AC with new money that are buying them via MLA and the auto-accounts. I have also noticed that the GBBA series 2 account has been slow to invest money over the last few weeks. May be buyers are losing interest in P2P generally.
We are approaching the slack time of year for new loans. Possibly a lot of investors are putting money in by standing order. Also not all loans qualify for GBBA, so it maybe some combination of these.
Been some stuff in the press about the End of P2P Sector.
Cautious investor will limit his exposure to any particular loan, and will not be tempted by this platform's discounts; 30% discount Fire Sale might be tempting. Recent problems with GBBA1 probably reinforce this for MLA investors.

Looks like we're heading for a December election. I saw a cartoon with someone interrupting the nativity play shouting "I'm the Returning Officer...." . While this election will be very good for the Liberal Democrats, I fear it will be the election that sets up another 5 years of Conservative rule. Simply because there is a big enough bedrock of Labour Corbyn believers who will always vote for their hopeless champion, even at the expense of letting the Tories win their constituency over the LDs. Nothing much to be done about that - Corbyn was always the Leaver trump card. Interesting to watch the Brexit Party now. There is no way that Johnson will enter into an electoral pact with them. Too many egos clashing. But like Labour loonies, there are a bedrock of loonies who will vote BXP having misunderstood how FPTP works, or having failed to understand that Boris is pro-Brexit. However, having denigrated BXP voters, there is something more fundamental to note here. The Tories and the BXP stand for two different types of Brexit and for two different constituencies. The Tories are for an open trade border, free-trade Singapore race to the bottom. The BXP represents Little England. Close the borders, we'll make it at home, keep the foreigners out. These are opposed philosophies and this could be highly significant in the final result. N Farage can't at this point back Boris because the Deal is NOT a (Hard) Brexit.
Boris has to persevere with the Deal at the moment because the Remainers put in place a law to prevent leaving without one.
If Boris plus the Brexit Party get a majority, they can go for a Hard Brexit if they want, repealing all the laws that the remainers have put in place. That's the way Parliament works.
J Corbyn insisting on "taking No Deal off the table" is somewhat nonsensical, as all we have at the moment is a transition deal, and we will still be working on the final deal until at least the end of 2020, and will he like what we are offered?
If the Remain parties get a majority, their best bet is to withdraw the Article 50 notice right away, on the grounds we didn't know what we were voting for (beause we didn't bother to read David Cameron's booklet, or couldn't understand it because of the apalling state of Labour's education system)
At time of writing, we don't of course know what conditions are going to be attached to any extension

Question that interests me is: what have ths Bidens been doing to have roused Trump's interest? Only thing I've seen from Biden is posturing about the fact that Trump has abused his power. This leaves one to suspect there IS something they need to hide ...

AC have a few problems with fractions of a penny. A couple of times in the past, for reasons I can't remember, they refunded money into my cash account. I am left with £0.0041... which I can't move anywhere. My executor is going to have fun with that ...

From the email back in February I took encouragement that AC were going to deal with this matter quickly - more quickly than if they were letting it run. In fact they are just letting it run, in the hope that they will be able to recover some money from this débacle. Rather devalues the good look of the reimbursement. Expressions involving sky and pie spring to mind.
