I still have loans with no update for MORE THAN 2 months! I agree that posting an update with no change is fairly pointless, but where the loan is overdue there SHOULD be some change/actions have occurred in a month to be reported! The updates on my fourteen overdue loans make sorry reading. Take a look at them and you will no doubt understand why I have stopped investing with FS until the quality of their updates improve. 1536925083 8859773920 2938283517 1966836505 2950815489 7224997259 2620469502 2688914082 2437319925 1084530215 3171765915 1205065729 2995118349 1213701687

Is it just me or have updates in general really slowed down the past week or two?

There does not seem to be any pattern - all at once or none at all, the latter of which applies to all my overdue loans! You would like to think that changes at the top will filter through improvements, but best not hold my breath. Cheers P

Good news but it doesn't negate the mismanagement of loans that are anything up to 3 years overdue and still not resolved. I assume that the still active powerboat loan doesn't appear in Benji's loan book!!!!

Just out of interest, how many loans did you expect to go bad when you started investing? Knowing that these were high risk loans means you must have had an appetite for some risk of loss with an understanding that recovery on loans can be protracted. This isn't to say that FS are perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but the loans that are fully repaid get almost zero mention, while individual loans like the powerboats are mentioned incessantly.

Only 14% of my FS portfolio is not overdue.
A grand total of 1 update on overdue loans in October which was 'We are currently struggling to make contact with the borrower'.

This isn't to say that FS are perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but the loans that are fully repaid get almost zero mention, while individual loans like the powerboats are mentioned incessantly. With high risk loans I expect about 10% of loans to be problematic. What I don't expect is the mismanagement at the level I see from FS. This mismanagement appears to include them accepting unrealistic valuations which have little relation to previous sale prices for the property that the loan is made on. The Whitehaven loan where FS assure investors that progress has been made on the build when there is no progress whatsoever and the decision to avoid what appears to be a decision "at all costs" not to default loans as in the powerboat loan.
I am well aware that some loans repay more or less on time but there are too many loans which don't and FS seem incapable of dealing with this situation.
All my loans are now either in default or still "active" even though realistically I have little or no hope of a 25% recovery rate.

Perhaps the powerboat gets regular mentions because of the inertia surrounding the repayment of the loan - boiler plate replies and not much else. Rishton is in a similar vein but is not grumbled about as often because the borrower does seem to be making an effort to sort things e.g.the latest update.

Perhaps because of the necessity to involve various parties, the Turbine recovery was managed relatively efficiently. Investors lost an absolute packet on it, and there were questionable elements to the loan promotion there too, but we don't talk about it very much anymore. Now, about my Londonderry loans fundingsecure , has the NI government gained some stability yet, are we 'imminent' ? Presumably that's also tied to Brexit, and also to Trump, and basically the global shift to nationalist fervour. I'll check in again upon the dawn of the next political epoch.
