That almost made me laugh. I had a long think about the best course of action to take after they ignored my phone calls too and decided to email the whole board. I mean if you're blocked from contact us what else can you do?

I mean if you're blocked from contact us what else can you do? I thought Funding Circle would have an online message system. Not sure what percentage of forum members are still in FC? Messaging the forum may help others in the forum or on the internet which is why it is always better to use their full name . I never had anything good to say about FC but I did make my 6% for the short time I was invested.

Returns were much better in the early days before the black box, when you could choose your own loans and sell them. They became arrogant well before that. I seem to remember they closed their own forum after a few challenging posts. They don't listen to retail customers. I wish they would sell the rest of my defaulted loans.

I asked for a copy of the Loan conditions that related to 2017. I had previously pointed out that the loan conditions I had a copy of (No copy currently available on the website) .said that refinancing of loans should see the money sent straight to the other loan company to pay off the old loan or that FC would check that the money was indeed used to pay off the old loan. The company I was querying went bust owing both loans. FC said that the loan conditions I had a copy of were not relevant to 2017 (I am certainly not aware of them ever showing more than one copy and the T&Cs don't refer to more than one copy, and they link through to the LCs, or should if the link worked) but have failed to provide a copy that do relate to 2017.
I have emailed multiple times over the last 6 weeks but only recently realised I wasn't getting an automatic response from them. I tried from another address of mine and do get an auto response. I phoned and spoke to two different people both said they would look into it and neither got back to me.
I loath these people. I haven't been caught out by the P2P companies that went belly up, so I can say Funding Circle are the worst P2P I have had any dealings with rivalled only by Crowd2fund. But I think FC are the most shady. They never give a sraight answer to anything.
I guess we will see what happens tomorrow, about 15 different people will get my email tomorrow.

I seem to remember they closed their own forum after a few challenging posts. They don't listen to retail customers. I wish they would sell the rest of my defaulted loans. In case you don't know that is exactly how this forum came about. Several of us had asked lots of awkward questions about several dodgy loans of the FC directors on their original site and ended up barred. So after a bit of off-line chat Andrew Holgate (then of AC) formed this the Independent Forum out of his own pocket. For my part I launched an attack on "Despatches" on Channel 4 regarding a loan to a dodgy scrap metal dealer who had dealt in stolen property. Didn't do any good as everyone investing in that particular loan lost their money. Except FC who took their fees upfront.

The board never replied, but it did get me a response. In short I was going to spam! I think I still am.... Any one needs the boards email addresses just ask.
