SS have just processed a deposit. That was nice. Hallelujah. Perhaps the penny dropped that they'd well and truly bunged up their own system. I think so! I made a deposit only about 30 minutes ago, credited already.

I called them. Asked if they knew when credits would be posted as I sent funds six hours ago. The person on the phone was pretty clueless, but seemed to think it would b by the end of the day. 5 minutes later..... And, the loan I wanted was scooped up before I got a chance. Damn these SM changes!

Just made a test deposit half an hour ago. Nothing been credited. This system now stinks.

If you change your plumbing, its best to test it out on a few small t*rds first
Unfortunately, if someone comes along and does one of the biggest dumps in the history of your house, then don't be surprised if it takes a while for the blockage to clear

A lot of long dates loans on the SM..Are some of the lemmings leaving? Lemmings? Harsh - I'm rebalancing atm and just trying to figure out if I'm one? We should build a big shiny wall to keep them out. Jack P

Was just wondering what's up with that myself. Masses of 2 loans I want. Now I'm wondering if somethings up, or it's just the SM effect on SS since the changes! Me too. I just popped on here to see if I'd missed some not-entirely-obvious catastrophe. Was hoping to sell some ageing SS loan part crumbs to pay for a tranche bought today, but may have to liquidate some residue from Funky Chickens instead.

The financial world is complicated enough I believe the most recent 'incident' of this magnitude was PBL143, and that one took several days of vigorous flushing to clear

Three hours after 2pm and still no credit, the stink is not going away, fix it SS not good enough, spend a minute amount of profit and put someone on bank clearing all day. Paul64. savingstream

Employ an office clerk. Pay him £7.90 an hour to sit in front of his monitor clicking refresh every 5 seconds waiting for funds to appear via faster payment into saving streams bank account. Job done. Simply not good enough Whats the reason why funds cant be credited within a reasonable time frame like most organisations are able to do so in 2017.

Or, simply pay the bank the small coin they want for batched data and update them in near real-time, next to no ongoing cost. It's really easy to do. I sent more funds today. First lot went in after I called them, still waiting on the rest. You'd think they'd at least make the effort manually for a short while, given the state of the SM and the changes, but it seems not. Really not impressed. As others have said here. Seems to be a business that really does not think about it's clients (lenders).

The SM is going to be gridlocked if SS don't speed up deposits. No one's going to leave their account in surplus all the time just in case something comes up for sale. Is there any reason why can't it be an automated system ?
