It really is pretty awful. Looks like a cross between a really poor quality phishing site from 15 years ago, a site that hasn't loaded properly, and something that was designed during a "bring your child to work" day.

It looks like the notes you can save against each loan aren't shared between the ISA and non-ISA accounts. i.e. if you start on the Standard Account, make a note on a loan, then click on the IFISA tab, then find the loan again the note won't be there.
It probably doesn't make much difference for now, but I hope that can be changed before the manual loan functionality is added to the ISA accounts.

When it asks for one's memorable date can it remind which date format it is expecting.

You can use anyformat you like, but you will need to remember the format you used. You could even enter some gibberish so long as you always used the same gibberish when asked for your Memorable date.

In the past for my favorite colour I used my first school, and for my first school I used a favorite colour.

I am finding that the second part (verificaion check) log-in fails about 30/40% of the time - a bit of a pain but Ok - is anybody else finding this an issue?

chris a hopefully trivial (but very useful) improvement would be to increase the length of the text we are allowed to put into “Your notes” in the loans. If I’ve done the numbers right there’s room for 247 digits atm. Ideal imv would be to increase this to allow the (currently blank, unused two thirds of the) second line displayed (on my laptop) when you list the loans in table view in “Browse Loans” to be used, thereby extending the digits available to 372 (so 125 more than now). This would be sufficient for my needs & not use more screen-space. I use the notes a lot, & as your loan book increases expect many new MLIA lenders will too. The current space is not enough (for my needs anyway), often end up crunching & abbreviating things to the limits of comprehensibility several months down the line (& still have to miss sometimes important bits out). Any thoughts / likelihood / timelines you can signal? It’s something key for ongoing duedil recording, so if can be bumped up the wish-list as a simple quick fix would be warmly welcomed. Feel free to file under cheap & simple ways to keep MLIA lenders happy Thanks

JJC than you for raising this. I too use the notes extensively and have exactly the same problem. Any increase in the numbers of characters allowed would be very welcome here.

Re website: chris Could you have a look at the Great British Bussiness (sic) Account page please, accessed via the Invest with Us dropdown menu. Unsurprisingly it leads to "Page not found"  . |

With an unusual level of dutiful keeping abreast of things for me I regularly go to the MLIA, order it by LastUpdated and then click through updated loans to see if there is any important news. Today FIVE times in a row the not-important news is This loan is a development loan with tranche drawdowns. A subsequent drawdown to this loan is due to take place imminently and documents covering this have been posted to the Documents section of the loan record. Please note that trading may be suspended for a short period whilst this drawdown is processed
I don't think this really counts as a notifiable event. Can you devise something please?

I don't think this really counts as a notifiable event. Can you devise something please? It's important news for me. It means you get an up-to-date credit report and MS report, which often contain info that materially changes the risk of the loan. I've bought and sold many times on the basis of info contained in those updates. ETA: if one of the loans you were looking at was #495 then I suggest you read the reports, given the borrower has had to have a "frank exchange" with his contractor.

Running late, might or might not catch up, but the final cost still seems as anticipated

A simple solution (to shimself's understandable request) might be, for loans that are about to release a new tranche, to colour the last updated date say green (" 29th Jan 2018"), or the loan number, or the whole line (when viewing in table view). That way we're alerted there's another chance to invest on that loan (or it's not worth clicking open to read if it's one we don't care for), & helps minimize the plenty of to-ing & fro-ing we already have to do across AC's growing loan book. Brings the punters in, reduces wasted time, addresses clay's good point, win-win-win surely. |
