Anyone expect a glowing 5 Star review to suddenly appear from one Mr S. Claus thanking the wonderful team at Lendy for failing to ensure the completion of so many projects thus reducing the number of chimneys he needs to climb down?

I see Lendy are back to their old habit of taking down almost every review.

I screen grabbed two that lasted a very short time. One was a pretty much fair enough comment. The other was amusing but the Lendy claim that it was false and accusatory was fair enough. That said it could have been crafted to say pretty much the same without being in some respect false and accusatory.

Lendy will no doubt be pleased to boast in the next bit of meaningless non information they shove out that they have continued to be highly successful and have reached the astonishing level of 140 / 148 on Trustpilot. Probably all down to Lendy Wealth, one might ask?
Perhaps they don't realise that is in fact only 8 up from the very bottom. They have been busy blocking 1 star reviews today.
How about creating a new thread in the Lendy DD section so users can post screenshot of some of the wonderful "fake" reviews before Lendy can get to them ?.
Criticism / fair comment of the useless recovery management clearly does not bother any of the "thick" skins at Lendy.
But if we start to laugh / ridicule them as well, that will be another ball game.
Some P2P investors may recall the wonderful Funding Circle Bunker video "Death of free speech -Funding Circle forum my part in its downfall" created by adrian77. Still funny today even though the "highly experienced property team" at FC got liquidated and left a total mess behind which is still ongoing from 2016.
FC hated the fact that investors asked searching and justified questions on their own in house forum (oddly enough concerning a very suspect London loan) and then when investors started to laugh at them they panicked, became indignant and then displayed complete cowardice and closed their own forum.
Lendy cannot close this forum. Any chance of a similar "Lendy - the masters of the evasive update and new speak" video?

Looks like Mr. Liam has posted another TP review, another 3 star review and a repeat of his previous 2 reviews.
Suggestion, place your time and concentrations into getting lenders cash back from the defaulted loans.

I'm not convinced it isn't someone taking the p***. If he really has posted that same thing three times over, we should be wondering about his mental state. What I also found of interest was that when I read it, it was supposed to have been posted three hours earlier. That would have been around 5am UK time. It made me think that if it was genuine, then he's either having sleepless nights or is tucked away in a different time zone.

I am sure if it was fake, they would take it down (this has been grounds for taking a review down before).
What is noticeable is that the dodgy reviews seem to have stopped entirely, perhaps the money ran out or someone came to their senses - last one was about a month ago.

After a relatively long break we have another one star review today. It would be difficult to claim it was anything but objective.

seems FS are not to bothered about their 4.1 rating of POOR. moves lendy off the bottom of worst p2p for trust but both pretty much the same when it comes to the BS.

Some truthful and rightly brutal posts last couple of days. Hopefully the word about Lendy is everywhere now.

I also have to say that the reviews on there for Lendy are pretty accurate. They were good at first but after investing with them for years, they I must admit that they do come across as a toothless dog when it comes to recovering monies. I haven't as yet left a review myself but from what I have read, I can't really argue with them.
I know there is so much more to it, but their dd leaves a lot to be desired, though I guess this is what happens when companies play with other peoples money. If it was only their own money they were investing, I imagine that their dd would be much more thorough.
Thing is, people that want to invest in Lendy and type into a search engine - "Lendy Reviews" won't just find Trust Pilot, but will also come across forums like this due to pages like this being crawled by the search engines.

I have become exasperated by the fact that attempts to use my Lloyds debit card to buy loan parts (Not on Lendy) were regularly being declined as potential attempts at fraud. This usually involved queuing to get through four levels of security to get my card unblocked and took 40-60 minutes to achieve depending on queue times, each level having a separate queue. They have apologised repeatedly and even paid me compensation and covered the costs of phone calls. That doesn't stop them doing it again the next time. I looked them up on TP only to find that they have an 87% one star review rate. I know Lendy have been'managing' the figures on this but I still imagine that Lloyds see the Lendy satisfaction level as something to be aimed for. After the last episode Lloyds have lost my P2P transaction business and will be phased out altogether at my convenience.
