    It appears that in a bid to increase loans availability the loan quality is dropping fast. Another loan (
    LN000-050-756) is in collection currently.
    The problem with vehicles as security is that if the car has been raced, rallied & rolled, by the time it is repossessed it may be worth next to nothing. Even if it was insured, should it be pranged when the driver has been drinking or perhaps after the WOF has expired the insurance won't pay out so we the lenders miss out.

    Short answer is yes but it's a very lengthy process that can take a year or more and any money received is firstly used to pay out the 1st mortgagee. By the time legal costs, agent's fees and unpaid/penalty interest and costs due to the 1st mortgagee are paid out, dependent on the owners equity in the property, there may be little if any left over for the 2nd mortgagee.

    In other words, it's almost a false sense of security investing in loans that have property/vehicle as security.

    LC are trying hard to increase the number of loans to meet the investors demand and LC needs to ensure that the loans quality is not dropping. Perhaps greed is setting in and if that's the case then the trust in the platform will suffer in the long term. i could be wrong and only time will tell.

    I have been on the laptop all day today and even so they were all invested in when I looked. You have to have an email address at the top of their priority list too.

    It is a very unsatisfactory way of presenting loans to investors when the current system means that investors have little chance of being able to invest if they want to spend time to peruse the loan details prior to investing.
