Didn't know how to tag, but one of you was kind enough to explain it to me.
Have a good evening.

With the turbine loan closing in a couple of hours & the law firm not starting for another 2-3 days plus nothing on AM to speak of, I wonder if it will be another week of twiddling thumbs on AC until some loans materialise? Getting to be a familiar tale but, let's hope the cycles of loans Andrew H spoke of a few days ago start another peak very soon.

andrewholgate, we used to get periodic updates about upcoming loans/plans, even through lean periods as the one we're currently experiencing. Any updates on the horizon of where AC are heading & what to expect in the pipeline, loan-wise? Thanks

I am sure Andrew and his team are really trying to get more loans listead and but it is no good getting poor quality loans listed that just go bad.
Sending emails for updates wanting updates about loans being listed is just diverting his time from trying to get these new loans. P2p is so much more competative these days. Other sites have had quiet momments for listing loans and then some four months later a greater number of problem loans.

Other sites have had quiet momments for listing loans and then some four months later a greater number of problem loans. They do have a meeting each morning where they discuss what's planned to be coming up loans etc and what's happening. Which must be very interesting mtg. But it only makes sense to let us know when things are about 90% certain to happen, as you say. Lets assume 100 loans go into the AC DueDil system, I think it's quite possible for only 10 to make it to the Front End, and I think we're now at about 1 of those last ten then die at the final hurdle. Before the Herts loan died on the operating table, I can only think of the Slippy Chippy and that was a couple of months ago?

It is also useful to keep members updated even through lean periods, of what the future horizon looks like too. It would be useful to even alert by email when a new auction is listed, even in preview stage (like the law one currently on site). You always have to log on & manually request notification of when a loan starts for each individual one. Silence can be very frustrating.

I'm overly conscious now of when I 'like' something... I now have the feeling that if like something will the receiver of the 'like' feel they HAVE to 'like' me back. Well it's a great way to get your score up and it's a lot easier than creating a new id to up your own score.

Surely it would be a marketing team rather than Andrew personally who would send out such emails. Silence is frustrating and they could probably head off a lot of the frustration that some posters express by a simple weekly or even fortnightly email.

The moderators will also keep an eye & warn/ban anyone who might have two accounts with different IDs. Besides, whilst 'likes' are a nice acknowledgement & build the community feel on this board, it's not the end all & be all of contributing to it. The banter, for me, far outweighs anything else. Now everybody press your 'like' button please for this post

You're right spockie, one keeps forgetting how spoilt we've been in having the MD readily available on these pages & tend to direct the bulk of inquiries in that direction. I'll refrain from now on but would add a +1 to your point that the marketing department should make a better hash of keeping lenders better informed, whether there are loans in the pipeline or not. If only to keep us from moaning at the lack of news

If only to keep us from moaning at the lack of news One of the problems that we have seen for a while is that AC don't all seem to be singing from the same the song sheet, as we get assurances from Andrew that loans wont be listed until they are ready to go and then the opposite seems to happen. On the face of it this weekend was a classic example with a loan being listed before it should have been in what appears to be a panic to get something listed after the failure of the Herts Bridge. So we get a loan that appears to be related to an existing borrower, no one to respond to queries over the weekend and then today get the response that they can't clarify one way or the other because there is no 'Engagement Agreement'.

You always have to log on & manually request notification of when a loan starts for each individual one. Silence can be very frustrating. I'm tending to agree with j. After all every Lender on AC is planning how much cash to invest, be it 10% of their weekly/monthly income or some massive inheritance and as such kinda need/like to know what's coming up so they know whether to leave it fester at 0.5% in the Bank or perhaps let it buy stuff on the AM via chris & teams' AI. I hope this doesn't come over in a nasty or critical way at all, it's just a mere statement of situation. So if AC just were to say 'sorry folks at the moment we really don't know ourselves what's happening, but please be patient' I simply would be patient. And in fact I am patient, even if it doesn't sound like it. I think the Listing of the 'Unknown' Legal Firm is just AC's way of having atleast something in the shop window, almost taking over from the old Birmingham Bridge speaking of which I must admit to dusting it as it was there so long. This is meant in good fun! So I think they did put up the Listing early but it's part, I imagine part of the plan to space out new loans rather than the famine/feast?
