... What's been happening? Thought you'd stopped using the boards ages ago (I've not been for the past few months; I found myself getting a bit too worked up...
On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 5:09 PM, Michael Strauss ... Hmm. ... Wasn't something *identical* to this done ages ago? From Cougar's email, it would appear that...
I think it's PRIME that guarantees the capital, not Zopa. To put it another way: Would you be more likely to bid on a listing if you felt there was a good...
That may be overstating it just a tad but there is definitely a pro-Zopa bias on the forums. Whether or not that is anything to do with the fact that every...
... Isn't that what is essentially happening with most of the loans that are happening? Though I'd take umbrige at the 30% figure. 99%(currently) of my bad ...
Possibly, but then the other loans are not guaranteed, are they? In fact, I am seriously considering reporting that listing. It makes a mockery of the whole...
... Or ignore them. I've had that one. (I am still continually reminded at the pub I use that I have a some tax fckup or bad debt or something - I forget...
... While I don't dispute your ire at the listing, who *can* you report it to? Zopa will, at best, tell you how fluffy and engendering it is that they've put...
As far as I am concerned, that listing conflicts with the whole Zopa ethos. Imagine the bad publicity it could bring if it does turn sour. I think Zopa has a...
By Zopa's own admission the prospective borrower fails to meet their own minimum lending criteria. The listing appears to make a mockery of the whole Zopa...
... I've been operating two FF tabs on the Zopa open at once for probably a year. (Windows XP) I won't say it's completely error-free, but I know what specific...
It seems that it's no longer possible to report this potentially dodgy (further evidence of which can be seen via the recent question posed about costings)...
Might they have moved the link from where you were expecting to find it? I can see it in the left 'column' of the listing page. (I'm using Firefox.) ... From:...
I still link to this at the bottom of anything I post on ZopaTalk - but is there still a moderator for the Yahoo group? Anyway, have a lovely summer everyone...

I’m still on but have stopped lending on Zopa, moneys coming back at £25 a month or so, but since I’m now retired I’d like to get it all back before the...
Hi Alun, yes not lending myself any more, though hope to eventually get out without making a loss! Not my best investment decision! The credit crunch came at...

Pauline, Pete, I rather think our experience has been the same, just hoping to break even. I'm a tad older and wiser now! Alun From: Zopa_talk@yahoogroups.com...
Hi all, I'm here too. I was hit by the bad debt tsunami, but not as badly as some others because I never got into Listings to a significant degree. So my...
I've been asked a few times over this past year where to stash some cash. Unless you want to take quite a lot of time assessing charts I've been saying gold...
I'm still here too. My view on Zopa hasn't really altered: Love the concept but it's more full of spin than real substance. I still place offers now and again,...
I'm here sometimes :) I’ve stopped lending now on Zopa because I'm withdrawing my funds as I cannot afford the yearly tax bill anymore!  But seriously my...
Hi, New to Zopa as a lender, and discovered this Group through that site. Activity seems low, do you use this as a back up, or general chat outside zopa. On a...

Hey Nigel, Indeed, this was set up as a back-up for ZopaTalk. A few old hands reside over here - welcome along! Some of us were 'bitten' with the onset of the...
That's helpful, thanks. Don't like the listing loans, all seems potentially fraught, and very marginal. There seems a strong possibilty that lenders will not...
