With the renewed silence that has been obvious from Lendy on the past few days on the further batch of suspended loans, this to me does not indicate how good Lendy will become again, this to me indicates we are back to old Lendy. What never ceases to astound me, years ago I was contacted via email by either Liam or Tim (cannot recall who at this time) as I had been one of 6 (I think) lenders who were identified as being on-line at Saving Stream all the time (we are talking 12+ hours a day). Yes, I was, and I was purchasing all I could get my hands on in the SM, as I am sure the other lenders who were also identified alongside me. After this temporary freezing (or was it "suspension") of my account, Lendy introduced the stupid captcha on loan purchases to make it fair for all. That it certainly did, as with my arthritis I could no longer purchase loans speedily from the SM, so I stopped. All those entities who complained about lack of liquidity in those days, now have too much liquidity available. Maybe Liam would now like to consider removing that most moronic captcha routine from their website at this time to speed up SM market purchases. That captcha is so unbecoming of what is meant to be a professional investment website. Lendy, take note, it is liquidity that makes the worlds financial markets move. You are not marketing a limited resource where scarcity increases the price!Even worse, as sites like this prove, the captchas don't actually stop bots anyway. I have no experience of this site but my understanding is teams of people are paid to solve captchas in realtime. When the bot is presented with a captcha on a page, it goes to the API which in turn means someone solving it. I assume this is all done in seconds. There is probably some machine assistance too but incredible how little people are being paid given the costs are apparently around 40p for 1,000 captchas solved ! anti-captcha.com/mainpage

I bet we see a new 5 star review soon thanking Lendy for all the wonderful investment opportunities and congratulating them on the silence that has occurred on many loans in the last few days The latest 5 star review on TP seems to think that ranking Lendy 126 out of 135 or something like that is good news? Have a look

Have a look Obviously, the reviewer can not even understand simple maths. Also, check out his quote on that TP review "wonderful investment opportunities". They would be wonderful if only Lendy allowed shorting!!

You have to look at Leonard’s (call me Len) other reviews including the verse to see he is mocking.
I see oddis and his first review is clearly a LenDee executive. Who else would give a 3 star review?

I note that 6 days ago a reviewer called Laura Scheuler posted a 5 star review of Lendy. Her other 5 star review was on Tim Lowe, whatever that is.
Tonight a reviewer called Winford has posted a 5 star review of Lendy. His/her other 5 star review is also of Tim Lowe.
I also note the American spelling of favor.
Too much of a coincidence to be genuine reviews.
Not sure which has become the biggest joke - TP or LY.

Yes I spotted that also. Tim Lowe is a highly questionable gambling tip site. Then again that makes a lot of sense as Lendy is also a highly questionable gamble these days! l like to check out Lendy on trustpilot when I need a laugh.

Tim Lowe is a Cellist. Maybe they bought the reviews from the same place as Lendy. In Hungary there was a minor scandal last week, because unknown musicians had a lot of good reviews from abroad. Probably bought them.

Good bedfellows then: Tim Lowe on the cello; Lendy on the fiddle  |

An amusing recent addition from Yoda. It is unlikely to be around long as calling Lendy  is definitely a breach of the guidelines. It sounds like he has a bag of chips on his shoulder and his previous eight angry reviews set the scene for this one. Do give them a read. |

It's nice and straight to the point  I think Lendy have given up policing trustpilot, so it wouldn't surprise me if it stays up.

Well, apart from any screenshots that might have been taken.

Update
Lendy can now boast that they have successfully secured position 129 / 137 with a massive score of 4.4.
Time to celebrate will need to wait until after the promised (chat to the little people /pointless) webinar; which was of 4 mins duration and delivered in a really patronising way in an attempt to make investors feel guilty about asking where their cash has gone.
The brilliant review by Leonard Dee [Len Dee] is still there in all its 5 star glory. Great fun to read.
Some might guess that the beloved Founder and CEO has been so busy writing / producing / directing the Webinar that he has not had time to fully understand what is being said otherwise the Lendy Critic Police would have pulled it by now.

One more glowing bit of rubbish on Trustpiolt has now resulted in the ranking for Lendy being placed further down at 132 / 140.
