Don’t like reading the fine print? How can we blame you. Most of the time it’s hard to find magnifying glasses strong enough to see it. But don’t be fooled—it’s everywhere, and it sure seems like sometimes it’s there just to take advantage of people with bad eyesight.
The world of financial services–you [...]

Fed Mysteries…Explained!
February 4th, 2008 — Editorial, News from Scott @ Zopa Blog USA
As you’ve probably noticed, there has been a lot of talk lately about the US economy going into recession, mortgage foreclosures, and Wall Street shenanigans. In an effort to soften the blow to the economy, the US Federal Reserve lowered its key Federal Funds rate (the rate at which banks lend money to each [...]

January 31st, 2008 — Editorial, Fun from Shane @ Zopa Blog USA
Fall in love. Get married. What could be more human? It’s one of the oldest and most beautiful one-two combinations that we have. It’s even older then the sun rising in the East and setting in the West. Okay, maybe not that old. But it’s certainly older than Zopa.
And we’re okay with that, because Zopa, [...]
Prosper and my junk…
January 29th, 2008 — Editorial, Prosper, Update, prosper can suck my junk... mail, prosper wears soiled panties from Jeff & Heather @ My Microfinance
So recently I’ve had a HUGE surge in junk mail, junk email and junk phone calls from people in the past few months. When I asked one of them today where they got my business name (FANAFI Foundation) they politely told me it was SOLD to them by Prosper Marketplace, Inc.! I have had a [...]

January 18th, 2008 — Editorial, Update, amazon.com sent me an ipoo instead of an ipod from Jeff & Heather @ My Microfinance
When ordering online, steer clear of Amazon.com’s inept service and shipping department in order to ensure your anniversary gift arrives on-time. Heather ordered me a brand new iPod Touch (16GB) for the amazingly low, low price of $358.99 per their website. Add overnight shipping and it’s still about $60 cheaper than purchasing locally.
So attempt #1… [...]
Dr. LendingClub, Mr. Prosper…
January 11th, 2008 — Editorial, Lending Club, Prosper, Update, anagrams are loco aka cool, i'm a sockpuppet again, prosper has mind control devices from Jeff & Heather @ My Microfinance
First, I want to re-thank the lenders who helped make our loan restructuring at LendingClub.com possible. It has been ‘Issued’ as of this afternoon! The Prosper loan repayment is to take place once the funds land in our account (tomorrow perhaps, Monday likely). The savings of $310+ will not be in vain or spent on [...]

We made a major decision yesterday as to what we are going to do on the P2P side this year. We have decided to go with only ONE P2P option in 2008, which will be Lending Club. We looked at the numbers and came to the conclusion that our investment dollars will get the most [...]

December 24th, 2007 — Editorial, Lending Club, Prosper, Update, prosper.com got a wedgie from lenders, prosper.com pooped its pants in fear from Jeff & Heather @ My Microfinance
On this Christmas Eve we are thankful that our first wave of loan repayments are hitting the Lending Club account! The Lending Club has been a much overlooked gem in a growing sea of P2P companies (Prosper, GlobeFunder, Loanio, etc) and wannabes (Zopa for example). We are finally satisfied with the symbiotic relationship we have [...]

Brett over at PLP took the time to interview several P2P lenders (myself included)… Definitely bookmarking/reference material for all those looking to dip their toe (or dive head first!) into the P2P lending!

Have you ever been promised something, then that day comes and you don’t get exactly what you were told you were getting (kind of like Christmas morning)? Well, that is how I feel about Zopa.com.
