Personally I have little sympathy with anyone struggling to sell any of PBL88. Maybe if you hadn't tried to game the system by prefunding more than you actually wanted you wouldn't be in this predicament.  Lesson learnt maybe.......? In my opinion, the only safe way to ensure you don't get caught in the "unable to sell" trap, is only to purchase that which you have the means to pay for. Regarding PBL027,if the platform isn't allowing sales or purchases, it could be because trading has been suspended.

They don't suspend trading on SS even their one default to date was tradeable all the way to full recovery. IIRC they also had a similar glitch with PBL027 not so long ago.

Prefunding without the cash to pay is gaming. There is no guarantee of liquidity so no reliance should be made on the SM. As SS is lenient a lot of investors take advantage of the system. It runs close to breach of contract as in other walks of life would you make a financial commitment and not honour it ? It makes it difficult for SS to plan when it is clear there is less actual money out there. Investor numbers are tapering off as a lot are probably fully invested. And sorry SS, but very poor show for no comment on here or via email with regards to SM technical problems. This kind of thing can alienate investors. If we maybe helped to buy country homes a bit more communication please ?  ? |

It might simply be a corrupted entry in the DB of sales, which needs resolving. If this was a FC problem, you would have to wait at least a full working week.... With SS you can expect it to be solved Tomorrow.

It was the weekend yesterday as well when a huge loan was offered. I would work a weekend with that juicy commission. It's takes maybe 20 sec to let people know they are aware there is a problem. Courtesy to the people that invested millions. I didn't say fix it today. So what's your point?
Let things slide and complacency sets in. The big money will then go elsewhere.

SS have already said they were experiencing technical issues - in fact that's the reason they gave for delaying the last two loans from Friday. I'm not sure how much value an additional post saying 'we are still having problems' would add..

And whats wrong with selling before the prefunding goes live. Or prehaps selling something else even if it is not what you want to sell.

Failing to buy PBL088, which has plenty available, with the same symptoms. It looks like a software problem to me.

I would suggest you to put immediately your SS loans on sale. I will buy them. And with the money you get, please go to FC, where you wil find a lot of loans waiting for you (also mine on sale...). FC manages over 1.1 billion GBP (about 15x the size of SS), gets huge commissions (really far higher than SS), has very big problems (from huge early defaults to missed withdrawals...), never answers the support phone, takes at least 2 full working days to answer any request (even the most urgent), takes weeks to solve even trivial IT problems (we had the FC secondary markets not working for weeks, with the code fully broken...). My point is: SS is pure gold. Much bigger networks would not even be able to reach this standard if they tried hard (and they simply cannot care to try as they don't care about 'customers').

For that, I am extremely grateful to you. Your post is up to your usual forthright approach, with regards to these matters.

So, here's my situation.
Because of the technical issue aforementioned I tried to buy PBL 88 but was unable to. In fact I tried several times but to no avail.
This morning I am informed that I have successfully bought all three parts. Only one of which I wanted and only one of which I have funds for.
So guys, what should I do? I can't imagine I'm the only one who has experienced this issue.

Now that PBL88 Is open I too have been credited with a number of parts duplicated because of several attempts assuming none were successful. I have e mailed SS this is there technical problem and as far as I am concerned I have asked but indeed expect them to cancel all those purchases they have credited me with.
