Perhaps this should be described as pedant/on, but... ISTM that until the loan was declared to be drawn down, SS investors' money should have been in SS's client account, and the money the borrower had should have been SS/Lendy's. So during that period the investors should have been free of the risk of the borrower defaulting. The act of drawdown should have meant taking the money out of the client account and putting it into a SS/Lendy account and effectively transferring the default risk from SS/Lendy to the SS investors. Or am I misunderstanding something?

I agree with Mike.
to illustrate my point I would like to mention that I was fortunate to pick up shedloads of the welsh Castle on the secondary market and it still hasn't drawn down so I am getting a big 11% on that and I will continue to do so until it draws down at which point I will make my position safer by disposing of much of my holding on the secondary market but in the meantime I am very happy to sit back and watch my 11% roll in.

PBL156 drawdown as soon as it went live, because the borrower already had the money. Just somebody at SS never pressed the right button to indicate it as drawdown.
Why...
PBL054 never sent the money back when PBL131 (large loan + security) went live.
PBL131 fell through because the borrower never acquired the additional land.
PBL156 has been created which is basically PBL054 + additional interest (held @ SS)
Put simply (if that is possible!), PBL054 never repaid... it has simply became PBL156

PBL156 has been created which is basically PBL054 + additional interest (held @ SS) Put simply (if that is possible!), PBL054 never repaid... it has simply became PBL156 I accept that the borrower never returned any of the money. But investors were repaid when PBL131 was cancelled. To stay within the client money handling rules, the money for that should have come from SS/Lendy working capital. And when investors committed money towards PBL156 their money should have gone into the SS client account until the loan was drawn down -- at which point the money could legitimately be taken out of the client account and used to replenish the SS/Lendy working capital account. If SS didn't declare PBL156 to be drawn down at the appropriate time, ISTM that was sloppiness. And if they didn't move the money into and out of the client account, ISTM that was sloppiness. But sloppiness like that has the potential for getting them into hot water with the regulators and they really need to ensure they have the right controls in place to ensure they're handling client money properly. I haven't a clue how long they could run a sloppy ship before the regulators come down on them so hard that the ship capsizes.

The worry of not running a tight ship is a wave of soft defaults being too titanic for weekend sailors.

Or am I misunderstanding something? That is all very well but by the same token then you shouldn't begin receiving interest on the money leant at whatever percentage you should only get whatever interest rate is received in the client account as that is where you think your money should be.
As we receive interest on the money as soon as it is leant then I treat the money as leant as soon as I transfer it, we are receiving the interest so why do think that you shouldn't have the risk?

FS tried not paying interest until drawdown and it didn't work for them, as investors wouldn't commit funds until they knew when their interest would start. So FS changed their model. I haven't a clue where FS get the money to pay pre-drawdown interest, but that's their concern, not mine. AC also had difficulty with investors when they weren't paying pre-drawdown interest, so they invented their QAA as a way to keep investors happy. SS also pay pre-drawdown interest on non-renewal loans, and that's their choice. If they're willing to pay it, I'm happy to accept it. In this case, the borrower has had the money all along. When SS repaid PBL131, they must have used their own funds. Once PBL156 was funded, I would have expected it to be drawn down immediately, but the website didn't indicate that. Perhaps SS just was late in showing drawdown had occurred. Or perhaps the new loan agreement hadn't been signed, so drawdown couldn't be declared until it was. The bottom line is that, AIUI, the FCA have strict rules regarding client money handling and SS need to follow those carefully so as not to jeopardise the obtaining and retention of their licence. I don't expect that any platform that doesn't follow the rules because they're too much trouble or because they don't consider them necessary will get much sympathy from the regulators. And just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that SS aren't following the rules. I have no reason at all to believe, or suggest, that.
