Having tripped over this issue this morning I thought I would bring it to your attention. If you wish to sell a loan part that is less than 30 days old for any reason this applies to you.
When you go onto the sell my loan parts page you see an accrued interest figure. That, for less than 30 days old loans, is wrong.
You would only become aware of the error of relying on that figure after you have concluded your transaction, on the new system, as it would show in the cnv figure as the true accrued interest.
I have raised this with FS and have been told that the borrower pays a minimum of 30 days interest so this is what they display for lenders. Do others think this is misleading and should be changed?

I'm happy to see the 30 days' worth of accrued interest in my list of current investments because it really has accrued, but the fact that you wouldn't receive the amount shown if you sell the part before 30 days is up should be made clear to people before they put the part up for sale.
If you've invested enough to qualify for bonus interest and you go to sell a part of that loan, a message pops up to remind you that you'll forfeit the accrued bonus interest on any part you sell. It ought to be possible similarly to pop up a message regarding lost accrued interest on parts sold before 30 days have elapsed.
