First loans for sale on Lending Club’s Note Trading Platform

A day after the start of the secondary market (see: “Lending Club allows lenders to trade their investments“) of Lendingclub.com, today 3 loans are offered for sale. I doubt that these Lendingclub loans will find a buyer, since they are all more then 60 days late and the discounts of the asking price versus the [...]

Adios mi Amigos!

Lately I’ve been at a loss for words on the peer lending industry and it’s overall behavior/attitude towards it’s clients. From Prosper.com’s complete ignorance to Lending Club’s quiet period (which still make little sense to me) I feel so anxious, frustrated and annoyed with all of the things I see and hope for not connecting [...]

House of Cards?

OPINION PIECE… Caution is advised as these are my own thoughts and observations!
Lately I’ve been thinking about Lending Club and wishing it were back up and running. Since my start with the LC back in November I have had four loans pay off and one default (I believe it was doomed from the start, but [...]

I was poking around the listing creator at Prosper.com to look into a loan to cover our relocation costs (the items not covered by the company sponsoring our move to the area) and found out that my once ‘horrid’ credit has improved without much notice from me. In the Prosper scheme of things my credit [...]

Listing Update!

Today has been one of those days you wish wouldn’t come around again for a longggg time. Today, LendingClub.com, by accident (?, I really don’t want to know as it may taint my opinion), removed my wife’s listing, which put us in a bit of a pickle with timing on the tax payment, which is, [...]

It is hard to believe it’s been over four months since I joined Lending Club! We now have 168 loans totaling $4,070.57, earning 12.28% or a monthly repayment rate of $139.23. The interesting thing of note from the time we’ve been with Lending Club is that we have 168 and only two loans are late [...]
