    I don't have a problem with the change to the new method if calculating fees - the new way is the best way to do it - they have simply set the fee % too high. If they set it to 10% it still would have been an increase for most, but would be much more reasonable and inline with other P2P players in the market[/QUOTE]

    The thing I don't like is that the fee is on gross interest ie before charge-offs. Under the new fees there seems to be little financial incentive to go hard to recover capital on poor loans.

Harmoney will be taking a massively larger cut of the interest we receive for taking this risk, yet they incur no extra risk them selves

    Fee increase for a F5 Grade was 910% Fee increase for a E5 works out at 890%

    I cannot remember the others off the top of my head but the interest rate increase for a f5 was 0% and for a f4 was 0.01%

    So for me it will most likely mean I wont invest in A, B , E or F grade any more - so I need to decide if its worth continuing for only C & D Grade.

    C2 19.67% 17.88% 1.79%

    C4 22.06% 19.35% 2.71%
    C5 23.23% 20.03% 3.20%
    Grade Interest Rate (p.a.)
    D1 24.41% 20.59% 3.82%
    D2 25.80% 21.41% 4.39%
    D3 27.12% 22.14% 4.98%
    D4 28.70% 22.96% 5.74%

    Agree. I think the service charge should be on gross interest only with a rebate for the service charge already levied on a note that is charged off. The rebate maximum would be the amount of the charge off. Later, if there is some percentage recovery of the charge-off then a corresponding amount of service charge could be re-instated.

    I didn't get that email but I too have been noticing several errors and inaccuracies.

    I've got a loan in Arrears but shows $0.00 in the Amount in Arrears section

    No email about errors ever received here...
    Arrears amounts have never crossed balanced or stacked up ever.....

    Harmoneys response : " the amount in arrears is less than 1 cent"

    What makes it worse is having an interest based fee effectively front loads the charge because the early repayments are largely interest. For example on a three year loan just over half of Harmoney's total fees are earned in the first year so you are effectively pre-paying for the collection service.
