I'm hopeful that there are one or more sleuths out there who monitor Companies House etc and might be able to help me (us) on this? When a Platform goes bust, we, as Lenders, are entirely on our own and no-one gives a toss ( especially the FCA), as we know only too well. Once bust, P2P Directors of course then do an immediate volte face, collude with Administrators, and can't wait to shaft us. SO, logic dictates only invest with P2P Platforms in decent Profit so as to minimise risk? But are there ANY?I thank you. OzBoy (Who hasn't invested in P2P for yonks because I am still licking my deep & numerous financial P2P wounds. ) PS - Apolgies if this has been asked before. If so, please just notify the thread title. Merci!

Wiseclerk's figures are interesting to degree but sadly with the lag in reporting figures not exactly of the moment and also i'm not sure they show any more detailed things that might be available form companies house. I think the next year or so will be really interesting to see what happens, especially in the Uk (i live in the uk no other reason). If this pandemic runs on much longer we will not have anymore money left. At least in this case we know for sure it was an english govt that screwed up. Whilst the blue team may have carped on about labour and the last crash but to be fair to them it was all largely way out of their control and not really much they could have done. I guess also one would need to read more than just those numbers, mind you I haven't really got a clue how to read most of this stuff myself in companies house - i use it mostly the check for dodgy non existent companies. Not very helpful though to your question ozboy sorry. If you can read them though the free public beta companies house lists are quite comprehensive. My guess considering hte number of p2p companies and how bad the regs seem to be then there is bound to be some dodgy ones - I tended to stay with the biguns myself just to less risky for the levels of rates i was comfortable with. Edit: just checked the beta companies house info and its not that extensive and they seem to have locked a lot of stuff behind a wall. You could also try "company check" i have had a free account in the past usually allows one to have 5 docs free per month I monitor a few non p2p companies there you can monitor 15 i think with a free account.
