I use Safari. It says: "this website may be impersonating "collateraluk.com" to steal your personal and financial information. You should go back to the previous page." I'm sure it doesn't, but the message sounds horrific We need to watch out for the next post from df to make sure they have not be stolen and are being impersonated by a rogue moderator.... We're all rogues

Regarding the website, a post from another thread. wonder at what point we will be able to download a tax statement? Tax year 2017/18 is not even over (5th April 2018). You then have until 31st January 2019 to submit your self-assessment and pay tax etc. From email extract received from Jessica Hodgson (Administrator) "We are currently looking into the website and the possibility of this being reopened in order for investors to view the balance of their investments, however this isn’t something that will be dealt with until next week at the earliest." Personally I hope to be able to access my account soon, so I can get a grasp on exactly where I stand with everything. I do imagine that it's not as easy as flicking the switch to let us all back on, as they have to ensure no buying/selling/withdrawing etc is possible. There are also certificate issues and no doubt other things. I have to say the "Upgrading Servers we hope to be back shortly" holding message was poor form to start with from Collateral and the administrators should not have left it up for so long. They did take down the twitter/facebook presence almost immediately on taking control so I don't know why not that page. Guess it doesn't really matter.

Seems the certificate has been renewed - "upgrading our servers" is back!

Seems the certificate has been renewed - "upgrading our servers" is back! The certificate expires on 4 June 2018 and has been downgraded which might save on costs. 4 June I doubt is long enough.

Seems the certificate has been renewed - "upgrading our servers" is back! Massively reassuring and significant and shows that the Administrator is bang on the case. I won't be contacting Jessica this week because things seem to be moving on at a very fast pace considering it was only a few days ago the company was placed in administration. Let's leave Jessica to get on with bringing everything to a great conclusion without being pestered and delayed by members of the P2P forum ringing her up every 5 minutes. When she has got some important news she will send us all an email and I have an idea we may be getting one before the end of the week. The widespread doom and gloom that characterized the air around here between Monday and Wednesday last week has now evaporated and there is a scent of fragrance in the air. There is every reason to feel confident and optimistic.

Actually, I think restoring the web site will be a priority for the administrator because it will provide a simple and cheap way to communicate (what’s my balance, can I withdraw my cash, did the borrower pay up, etc, etc) with lenders. To do otherwise would increase costs needlessly which could cause them to get in to trouble with any debtors who might then lose out. Yes, I agree. I still don't understand why the Collateral site was put down. There was no need to do that. The administrator could have taken control of it and ordered the Col technical staff (which should now respond to them by law) simply to disable the actions correspoding to sale (o even just remove the sale pages) and investment. Withdraw was already something subject to approval, so simply not approving that would sufficie without any changes to the code. When MT called in administrators for a restaurant in default, they kept the activity 100% running simply adding a line to the bottom of the site and not changing anything.... I agree - Restoring the website, even if only in read-only mode, would be most helpful. I know how much i have invested, but not a breakdown of individual loans.

Nothing but I have always been good at picking up subtle vibes and gauging the temperature of what is happening and the vibes I am getting about this matter are quite positive. In the absence of hard information then vibes are all we have to go on.

No I didn't and I was unaware of that important change which went unannounced and unnoticed by all except those with microscopic vision. That is why I am taking such a strong interest in how the administration is handled and what the recovery and overall outcome will be to investors like myself.

It does have the appearance of a well managed and organised transfer between Coll and the Administrator at the instigation of the FCA. Not at all messy - which would have been evidenced by all sorts of random info coming out from various parties. That does mean that lenders' interests will be properly protected, and the outcomes optimised. It is where it is, but georget's confidence looks well founded to me.

Sometimes it feels to be a waste of time talking to some people who are fixed in their views. beepbeepimajeep you have been given plausible explanations for the things you rightly complain about but choose to ignore them as a possibility. What you do with your investments on Coll WHEN the platform comes back is up to you.
