Group comment:

The loan becomes later after made three payments. It seems borrower experienced financial hardship during transition to civillian world. No response may indicate the debt was neglect.

Poaching of Other Group Leader

Some Group Leaders are simply poaching other group member for their own benefits. They often offer NO help at all, but only trying to collect fees associated with your listing, if it was funded by lending community. Some message are very deceptive and full of empty promise. For example, ‘we fund our own loan’, ‘we have $300K to lend’, ‘Help you to get best interest on Proser’…

Downgrade of Group Rating

We’ve been sadly to see our group rating has been downgraded due to two new late payments from HR-grade borrowers. One of them has been reported to Prosper for suspicion of ID fraud. We regreted that tough measure might be executed slightly late and expect the rating improved within several weeks.

Sadly said, some unresponsive persons have abused the system and value of veteran group. We are

First Payment

After properly allocated fund for stated purpose, Prosper will make AUTOMATIC debit from your verified account to repay your Prosper loan for next 36 months. Most of the time, there are no problems with this. But, the first payment occasionally presents some problems. Many banks, in an effort to protect you, will decline a draw on your account from an unknown company.

Don’t think you will receive the fund next day once your listing fully funded. There are some additional verifications that Prosper does to protect lenders against fraud.

Sending Free Fax, It’s easy and convenient

Occasionally, some members need to send a few pages of documents to Group Leader or Prosper for the purpose of verification. It could be inconvenient for many who don’t have a fax machine around and cost some bucks, too.

VLO Program, Active Duty

Feedback of VLO Program has been mixed since it was launched one week ago. The great leap seems not be good timing and incompatible with current condition of Prosper marketplace. Therefore, we’ve decided to take a small step, instead. Hopefully, VLO Program would march to its success step by step.

Default Prosper Loan?

Prosper will ban defaulted borrower for life, regardless. It seems not be an alert to a few borrowers who have exhibited careless attitude towards their financial obligation of unsecured debt. Maybe it is easy to ignore a few calls and mails from collection agency, and walk away without threatening of home foreclosure and loss of transportation.
