I was wondering what sort of response it would get if someone left a 5 star review but in it included the negative aspects of Lendy that are listed in the 1 star reviews that get pulled. I have tried that and it got pulled pretty quick Ah well!

Hello, Do you do car insurance?
Ah good, I’ve just driven my car through a wall and into a river so I’m going to need some. Can you give me a few competitive quotes?
What do you mean, insurance doesn’t work like that?

Another disappointing Fortnightly BS. Promised repayments that didn’t happen, most updates showing zero progress or a regressed position. With the size of the Lendy team, there’s 100s of man hours of “work” between each Fortnighly BS, what do they actually do all day, there’s never any outcome. Be fair! They're waging a constant war on the Trustpilot front and how much effort do you think has to go into planning all the Cowes Week parties? I'm surprised they don't call a moratorium on giving all progress reports so that they can focus on the serious business at hand. These considered and well meant reports are only spun by enemies of Lendy so they contribute to lender confusion and mistrust anyway.

My 1 star review has at least survived the Lendy objection and TP review process. Nice 'one'. I note that a review has returned but fear that its damning criticism won't count for much in the face of its four star contemporary review that simply states "Quick and efficient sign up. Great so far." I was almost tempted to put more money in myself.

Or (wild idea here), why not ask them via their own Support Ticket system, designed for the purpose. I'd be highly supportive of this, if it meant an entry being raised on an FAQ or similar so that everyone can see the answer. Surely the idea of platform participation in forums allows general interest questions to be widely shared?Yeah! About that platform participation thing... Quoted from Members/List Paul64 Representative of Lendy. Registered Jan 10 2017 Last online October 24th 2017 Posts 159 Paul70 Representative of Lendy. Registered May 10 2018 Last online June 18th 2018 Posts 5 I know some think Lendy may have a few covert operatives here but I don't know of any other designated self identifying ones tasked with interaction, not that I have put any effort into searching. There was apparently no formal presence here between 24/10/2017 and 17/05/2018 this year. As an aside... I wonder if we have had Pauls 65 to 69 in the intervening period who haven't even bothered to register.

Going to a hell of a lot of trouble to get these negative reviews pulled down. The majority appear ok to go to me. Trustpilot and Lendy have struck up a deal me thinks. It comes to something though when you just cant say how you feel You can say how you feel, but it needs to be couched in reasonable terms and not accompanied by a tirade of abuse. Calling them crooks, and in the case of the most recently removed review "s**m b*g*", is a guarantee of at least removal and possibly litigation. When (if) my remaining involvement is terminated one way or another, I'll write a factual review that will provide no grounds for them to have it removed, but will be readily contestable should they try. Reading around, it is easy to discover that TP have a reputation for being not too difficult to manipulate from the company standpoint. For all they say about reporting cherry picking etc, I couldn't find an easy path to doing it. Finding opportunities to complain publicly about TP and Lendy's relationship would be more likely to show TP in a more unfavourable light and make them less prone to throw out as much as possible. They will prioritise their own reputation over Lendy's.

Actually the more I think about it, I feel writing soliciting reviews - good or bad - is completely inappropriate. Where you have a site with an SM, I feel this could be used for market manipulation - example, lets say you are a lender who has wants to exit, and have stuff on the SM. You are generally a bit fed up with Lendy and the SM isn't moving - what is more useful to you? A 1 star review will discourage new lenders, or a 5 star glowing review to get more punters in to get a bit of liquidity in and your parts moving on the SM. So I think its a good idea to consider the motivations of anyone writing reviews - good or bad. I wonder what people are up to when they say "Good morning!"

Seeing this thread reminded me to have a quick look on TP. There has been a further one star review that is bound to be pulled down. I like to capture the odd screen shot of them so that I know which ones Lendy were complaining about when they've gone.
In absolute fairness to Lendy, many are indeed offensive and surely do warrant being pulled down. I suspect the writers are well aware of that but get some satisfaction in giving the Lendy nose a tweak. One recent Lendy response that amused me complained about numerous aspects of a review. One however was that they objected to the facts presented. The way it was worded could be read to understand that they didn't dispute the facts, just objected to them.

When providing information in updates and the like any company has to bear in mind what may be a bad choice of words or on dangerous ground, particularly when circumstances are not the best. I could not believe it when Lendy acknowledged they'd not made any efforts to confirm that the tales of success in Wolverhampton had some basis in truth. If at some future point they are taken to task, every statement they've issued, or review they've quashed on Trustpilot, could be used against them. At the present time I'm surprised they have anything to say about a lot of things.

Well, where is hazellend to put her 'positive spin' on this ...... surely Lendy can do no wrong?
Hazellend's profile states that 'she' is male. Just saying.

I haven't given much thought to this bonus malarky. It seems to be fanciful nonsense about never to be paid sums. I assume Lendy's aim is to bring the affected loans into bargepole range of investors who haven't already strongly sensed impending doom and pacify those already stuck with them. The terms and calculation methods do need to be properly defined and implemented though.

I walked into an empty room last night and found the TV had been left on and was playing out Panorama. The title was "Exposed: Northern Dreams, Failed Schemes." It is on BBC iPlayer and should be mandatory watching for anyone considering P2P. I have said before that I don't have too much at risk on Lendy to be greatly unhappy about. Watching this programme made me feel positively light hearted about my position. Not wishing to be pedantic, but if there was a television in the room it could not accurately be described as 'empty'. I regard any room as empty that does not have a member of my loving family in it.
