That website again, again

Anyone having trouble selling loan parts today?  Can't seem to list anything for sale.

Hehe - thanks

I think the problem was trying to sell parts with only one repayment left - not a terribly helpful error message ("There was a problem, blah blah...") but managed to list 50 or so other parts with longer to run, many of which have already sold.

As a side note, having run the latest loan book through my analysis, the performance of Rejected Whole Loans remains poor, with an average default/very late rate of 3.4%, compared with 1.98% for PLs and 1.27% for WLs, and roughly double the overall average of 1.77%.  So, institutions continue to get lucky when choosing which loans to invest in...

Hi arbster !

Funding Circle (I can't be bothered to make a funny/silly/appropriate transformation) is a platform employing very poorly performing office/back up staff, and it has been like this for years, following many many mistakes which should be dealt with before they appear on the site. I made the same error of trying to sell loan parts last October with (inadvertantly) including one with only a single repayment remaining. All that shows is "there was a problem blah blah blah" without saying what, and fifty sale operations had to done all over again.
I complained to FC and told them the remedy, to which one of their very friendly PR ladies said (three days later, long after someone on our forum gave the clue):

Hi Grumplet,

Thank you for your email.

I am glad someone else was able to help you.

I will feedback your suggestion, loan parts that only have one loan repayment left should not be listed, therefore I have passed this onto the tech team to look at why this has happened.

I hope this helps. If you have any further queries please get in touch.

Thanks,

Joanna

Of course, as expected, Futile Cretinette's "tech team" has (apparently) done absolutely nothing about it. I am not surprised, and am continuing my gradual withdrawal of everything on the platform. They make too many errors which are visible, so how many are hidden?
As a reply to a complaint in 2013, I received a reply admitting that too many mistakes were appearing on loans appearing on the platform, and promising to tighten up. They haven't.
It probably isn't the underwritng/loan procurement team . More likely low quality office staff, and poor Becky (and Joanna ) are left to give investors the excuses.

using Edge and getting similar problems - sporadically poor response - and something odd about fonts/size of pages?

was OK this morning


(other sites seem ok)

OK, not just me then

It suddenly seems to have flipped back to normal as we speak.

I imagine that it may have been referencing some external resource which simply wasn't available (fonts?) and it was eventually timing out and reverted to some defaults.

Well I suppose it couldn't last. The changes Fumbling Computing made to the Loan Parts page a few weeks ago resulted in some half decent behaviour, mostly taking notice of the selections/filters applied. Now it works once or twice, and then whatever selection I make or filter I apply or page I attempt to choose, it just displays the first page of E's. 

A couple of days ago, E's were displayed irrespective of whatever other band I selected - unless I actually selected E's, then they disappeared.

Wonderful!
