I've just funded my account to buy some Diamond Merchants. which is due to draw down tomorrow. In anticipation of continued underwriter selling of other loans, I've paused most of my other buy instructions for the time being. After pausing the instructions, they no longer appear in my "Your Loans" list. I'd have preferred it if they were still visible but flagged as paused ( chris can this be done?). Is anyone aware of a way to see which of my loans have paused instructions, or do I have to click on them all one by one? |

When I asked for paused loans to have a marker, I didn't envisage the paused instruction totally disappearing. Has something changed, or is my memory suspect? chris

AC are, according to AH, "undertaking some big improvements to the systems at present", but "mainly back office stuff" so even if it's considered "a good idea" the back of the queue could be in distant obscurity by now. Can it be done? The answer is probably "probably", within the bounds of technical feasibility. Will it be? If the response to MLIA enhancement requests over the past 12months or so is anything to go by, then "probably not"! Whatever happened to "ring-fencing cash for new loans", "global, one click pausing of all instructions" and "reinstatement of the ability to set a loan holding target", etc, etc. Much was discussed, some promised, but apparently nothing has been as strategically important as implementation of facilities of minimal direct interest to MLIA enthusiasts. Objectively, this might well make business sense, but at a subjective level its a bit of a ****** (feel free to add/subtract *s as to best reflect personal opinion). Having seen my available cash diminish rapidly in the last hour, I'm now off to pause my own buy instructions. Given the number involved it'll take more time than is ideal, with the reverse to look forward to in due course!

All of those features are being hotly debated and tested out by enthusiastic customers over on the Assetz "Beta-Test" forum, to ensure they are full ready for the big time. Due to the ne-NDA*, I can't say more  [*] non existent NDA ...

Or maybe someone's worried the National Design Academy will 'send the lads around' if anyone 'sings'? If something worthwhile emerges I'll drink toast to those responsible, and any mutterings of 'about time too' will be more muted than they otherwise might have been!

Hmmph! Have just logged in to my account by chance and discovered that yesterday sometime the system paused one of my buy instructions. Entirely legitimate as there had been a 'monitoring event', but for flip's sake, should I not have been informed of that change in my instructions? It so happens I would have wanted to keep that instruction, and have now un-paused it only a day or so later, but what if I hadn't happened to log on for a few weeks as is often the case since there are no remotely interesting new loans here these days? Very unhappy bunny. Mutter.

Not 'OR' Grumps - 'AND' - because the marker on the loans page still requires you to know that you need to log in, which not all of us do that regularly any more.

Very unhappy bunny. Mutter. To be fair, though, that's almost certainly what you asked the system to do when you invested, since it's the default action for a monitoring event. Should AC send a confirming email to every investor in a loan that gets paused as requested? It would be nice, I suppose -- just depends how much of a "set and forget" scheme one wants MLIA to be.

Yes, that's exactly what I do want it to do. I wasn't complaining that it got paused, just that I needed to be made aware it had been paused. I don't need it to be a "set and forget" scheme by any means, but neither do I want to need to be checking every 5 minutes to see whether things I've set have been changed. Perhaps I am expecting too much of this imperfect world

Perhaps I am expecting too much of this imperfect world Yes, alas, I fear you are. Mind you, one rather useful way of introducing this would be to create a more generalised "alert" system, where a lender could request notification of one or more significant events (e,g,"system has paused my instruction", "swept funds have fallen below/risen above £xxx", "new loans at 25% LTV and 12% interest have appeared in the pipeline", etc.). Not too difficult to code -- I did similar myself back in the day -- but with the longish list of requested MLIA tweaks and improvements that already fall too far below the waterline to be considered, we can be fairly confident it's not going to happen. Guess you need your timer set to 5 minutes after all .

Assetz is juzt a little too difficult to me. I need some help!!
My instructions aren't paused, but they don't execute.
I tried to get in recently launched loans like Diamond Manufacturers and R*****t Tranche 2 some days ago. But all it shows is "Buying £40".
I put the instruction before the launch and it hasn't executed yet, even though there is £1 million available now for Diamond.
(PS: my money is in the Quick Access Acount, not in the Cash account.)
