All, I have been contacted by Imperial College who have asked for input from affected Lendy investors in their study,, as follows...
______________________________
Dear Lendy Investors, Imperial College scientists - Dr. Renata Kosova and Prof. Alex Michaelides – are conducting an independent study about how the failures of recent fintech companies (including Lendy, LCF, Blackmore and few others), affect investors' trust in financial markets and regulatory bodies. The aim is to bring a large-scale evidence on such important issues and improve financial market policies & protect investors. To participate in this research please fill the survey on this link, by February 15th, 2021. imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2raIzouerIP8F4W (Note: If by any chance you have filled this kind survey on other sites and have not indicated your investments into Lendy, please fill this one too -- now as Lendy investor and indicate all the companies into which you invested.) Any questions regarding the survey should be sent to Dr. Kosova (r.kosova@imperial.ac.uk). All responses will be (anonymously) sent to an Imperial College account, to which only she and her colleague will have access. The results will be presented/published at conferences, forums, academic journals and shared with policy makers and media. Thank you for your cooperation!

Thank you for this information.
I have taken the survey.
It is a bit fiddly but the trick is to click the DONE button each time after and answer otherwise it takes you back to the same questions over a number of time.
The likes of LB and the mismangement of Le*** and the failure to conduct sufficient due dilegnce on behalf of retail invetors has clearly damaged the trust to be placed with the P2P industry.

Whilst I am sadly also hit by several of the failures (I escaped Lendy) Collateral is BY FAR the most serious of the lot, it is on a completely different and appalling incompetence level and a shockingly shameful class of it's own. "Check the Register, if the firm is on it we have checked them out, etc, etc, blah, blah" and "only deal with firms which appear on the FCA register" or somesuch nonsense wording from the FCA's Enhancer Encourager Enticer Enforcer Mark Steward.

Thank you for your cooperation!
Wuzimu, Do you know if the Lendy Action Group website will be re-activated and be online again? If it is going to be, do you know when that will happen? Thank you, for all your efforts.

Apparently this study is being extended into March,,, if you haven't taken part please do. Only takes a few minutes... It will help with pressure on FCA in coming months, which is something damaged Lendy lenders need to make happen once COVID and BREXIT are out the way.

Completed. I lost quite a bit through Lendy. Yes, I hope this study will put some pressure on the woefully-inadequate FCA.

I'm not sure what they are looking for, it seems self evident that if you lost money you are going to be unhappy with regulators etc. Are they more looking at the type of people who lost money, lots of questions about experience, income, education etc. Not that that isn't interesting if you are a researcher in the field of investments.

Not sure I agree with that. As has happened in the past if a stock goes belly up and I lose all why would I blame the regulator? It would be (and has been) my own stupid fault for investing. I dislike the culture of blaming people for advice. It leads to situations like where by law I need to pay several grand for advice I don't want in order to move my pension.

I should have said but I thought it was implied, if an FCA authorised platform goes down in circumstances where the FCA are implicated and you lose money you are going to be unhappy with the regulators.
