Well so far, the words "Auction Ends" have been replaced by "Ends" on each loan page (even the ones which actually are still auctions).
(I'd probably not have noticed but the Eagle Eyed Biddy was moaning about it, and also the requirement to tick a couple of boxes again this AM).
Ah, another one .. 16028 (E) now has 20% of bids in (BBB?) at less than the previous MBR!!

Well I appear unable to bid on the dregs of my watchlist - get bad gateway every time I try. Yet other folk are clearly able to as they're all (very rapidly for some) dropping out of my acceptable range. About to give up on my last 2, and focus on selling instead

Anyone fancy predicting what the very first fixed rate SME loan listing will be? I'll go for yet another dairy farmer in Northern Ireland (although perhaps they all have Financing Cattle loans by now?), A-rated, £50k, 48 months. Entitled either "Get a mooove on to milk this one" or "An udder great business"

I expect them to stick to the smaller loan requests for a few days, £10k to £50k. I'm sure they'd hate the embarrassment of anything not filling up. They might fling in a couple of E's to try and keep us interested, and the odd property loan with .5pc cashback.

Q1 Where has all the money come from to lower the rates of the last few auctions so fast over the weekend?
Q2 How could lower bids be accepted on an auction that had already closed (16028E)?

Think this is a difference too: "Found 27 loan requestss" But if you apply a filter (eg RB=E) so that there is only one match, you get "Found 1 loan requests" so there is a consistency in Fumbling Circus' use of the grammar of number.

I've decided to check the bidders on the first fixed rate B loan. No familiar names. But I've spotted a bid of £2000 from Tandridge District Council !!!

I don't think that Joe down the road will be very happy if he knew that the council is throwing thousands in unsecured loans to private companies rather than spend more money for the immediate needs of the community. 2K on a single loan is quite a lot,isn't it?
