N***h W***s B******g L**n

If AC are going to keep to their statement on Loan Information page we are going to see another push back on this one, but that should have been done at 12:00 yesterday when they didn't put up the documents, as it stands I am having to check every so often in readiness to delete my pre-bids if it isn't pushed back or the documents aren't published.

11:00 : 55 minutes to pre-bid processing time and no push back and no documents - this one is getting a bit too tight for comfort andrewholgate

11:10 : 45 minutes to pre-bid processing and no change - the finger is starting to twitch over pre-bid the delete buttons

11:25 : 30 minutes to pre-bid processing and the start time has been pulled completely - OK chris so what would happened if an attempt is made after 11:55 to push back the auction when the pre-bid processing has already started?

Should have been done yesterday at 12:00 when the documents were not forth coming, not 30 minutes before the pre-bids were due to start being processed 

I've been sitting here two days running just in case I needed to transfer cash in to cover my pre-bids (and read full reports).

Not good enough.

As I said earlier, pre-view auctions should be with no start date - then give a start date after the full documentation is available, with (say) minimum 48 hours for lender document perusal time and other DD.


"The admin team have the option to put a live auction back to pre-bid which will change all bids back into pre-bids. This has been used a couple of times recently."

Yes - on long since ended auctions which have been delayed by legal rigmarole. That needn't be necessary on auctions which haven't even started, if firm start dates are not given until full documents are available.

Completely agree too. There was no need to cause us such stress.

What is particularly annoying is a number of posters have been highlighting this issue all week in different threads by different posters and on Q&As and it was so easily avoided by doing just what AC have done now i.e. remove the start date till the documentation is available. 

All credit for IT dept for adding the facility but it should have been used much sooner with the excellent introduction of prebids.  The 2 things must go together.  Hopefully only teething problems and it will ne the standard from now on.

Currently seeing

missing FROM-clause entry for table "pb"

Under my pre-bids on N/W/B loan ?

Both on my summary page AND on the auction which has now apparently opened even though at had no start time Is someone at the controls

Edit: Had to manually delete my prebids and convert them to actual bids, as they were just sat there, I have screenshots if needed.

Oh dear! Looks like the system has started the auction and zapped all our pre-bids - only 1% full (despite showing 100%+ in pre-bids)

PS I see pepperpot  has snaffled a small piece of the cheese!!
