It is highly likely that it will be tomorrow, in very much the same way as the PBL87/88 loans were delayed... in a landscape filled with Surveyors and Lawyers, one is bound to encounter unexpected delays frequently, which will all be beyond Saving Stream's control. As remarked by other members, with loans of such magnitude, it is preferable for a delay to ensure everything is in order before proceeding and ultimately highlights Saving Stream's good standard of Risk Management relative to other platforms. @09worrj: Yes, the professionals can cause unexpected delays, but that usually delays drawdown. Going 'live' with a loan on the platform is purely a decision that SS make on their own, and shouldn't be the result of such delays -- SS shouldn't give the going live warning unless they're all ready for the money to come in and to start paying interest on it. A delay like this suggests to me that a significant problem has occurred -- but then I've always been a pessimist.  Maybe SS have been occupied with unrelated things, like one of the many loans where repayment is imminent -- and has been for some time. If we're really lucky, maybe this go-live will be delayed until Friday, at which point investors will find their accounts credited with £1M of April interest before they have to pay for their PBL094 investments!

... ive got £35.00 prefund riding on this... you dont expect me to just go to bed and hope do you? im hoping to get 50%.... : How'd you manage to get a £35 pre-fund? The smallest I can select is £100. (I'm ignoring the nil option.) Do new-ish lenders have a different set of options?

Wishful thinking, perhaps, but that's the situation I'm going to be in because I'm off on Friday morning for the BH weekend, won't be back at my PC until Monday night, and don't expect to have any significant time for SS in between.

If I am going to be away when a loan is launched I just fund my account with what I actually want then if do not get that much withdraw when I get back or if I get to much then SS will nicely sell it for me although that has not happened yet
