Can't believe FS have renewed this loan without a significant payment to reduce the loan.
No security in terms of assets - just FS's assertion that this is someone who we should trust and is wealthy. Yes they have paid interest this time but what will happen at renewal if they can't afford to pay the interest - let alone the sum they borrowed. I think I would be worried 6 months hence.
How exactly will FS justify putting this "loan" on their site if it crashes and there are no assets.

Do you need to put the dots in the loan name? how can the full loan name identify the unknown borrower?

Don't think they're wealthy or they wouldn't need a loan. Jobbing actor - wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. You're an actor and dry periods are the norm so why do you need 90k?
I lent out a property for filming three years ago and made sure of payment. Film's been made. No sign of it being released yet though.

Don't think they're wealthy or they wouldn't need a loan. Plenty of wealthy people take out loans. Sometimes their wealth is illiquid and locked up in other assets and investments. Or the amount they will make on a deal is greater than the interest they will pay on a loan.

But do that as an actor whose livelihood is two auditions away from the trashcan and you're a freakin' cracker! Just my opinion - you fill yer boots!

More than that how did this ever get through a site that has "secure" (ie asset) in its title. If I want unsecured loans from actors I can go anywhere. I think its a flippin cheek FS taking on unsecured loans - and if they do it should be at credit card rates.

I don't have a problem with this Loan being offered, the Risk is fairly clear and it appeals to the more adventurous among us, which doesn't include moi!

Extra long bargepole required methinks. Was in this loan from the start, renewed once but has now repaid on time. Sigh of relief. Interest at 15% is obviously enticing, renewal already 73% funded.

Wonder who the Sleb is?  ?  The gorgeous Heather Graham has recently been publicised as the new face for a betting organisation. |

Maybe she's representing FS, the list of available loans is rather like a line up of horses and we back the ones we think will be winners then wait months/years for the losers to arrive home
