All financial institutions Should be trustworthy, unfortunately there are certain aspects of P2P where that is not the case. I don't expect them to run off with my money, but have little trust in the way they present the level of risk for some loans. It would be dishonest to say a gemstone could be sold on the open market for its insurance value, but dishonesty by omission to quote an insurance valuation without saying on what basis that valuation was given.There must be higher risk for a 12% product than a 1% product, but the issue as I see it is being (deliberately?) misinformed what the REAL RISK actually is. It's unreasonable to say an LTV is 70% if in reality it is 700%. P2P need to clean up their act: State a reasonably accurate LTV, even if that is 90% and let lenders decide if they want to invest at the offered interest rate and LTV. Anything else is dishonest. Which is precisely what I've been banging on about for years. Initially there was a definite view that it was a case of " Well, that's just the way P2P is, you have to put up with it" ( Whaaaaa?!!!) I had very few supporters at the time who understood the gravity of the VR situation and a couple of years later when massive losses have racked up, Oh how some tunes have changed! ( Read the full saga under Lendy / PBL157/PBL158 - R*****a & C****t, H****** Court Rd DEFAULT for the Full Monty. ) EDIT / PS: My other hobby horse - Where are The FCA in all this? What do they actually DO to protect Lenders in P2P? We all know what they do, sweet Football Association. At least they're consistent. At being ineffective and useless. I reckon these are the gals to teach FS all about finance. Sweet Fascinating Aida m.youtube.com/watch?v=MnFq0ahL2V0
