From Prosperous Land - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 7, 2020 at 8:28 am ET There have been some anecdotal reports that Prosper is making minor headway in improving their loan collections. It's very preliminary and sketchy, but it leaves open the possibility of progress.

December 6, 2020 at 3:29 pm ET I had originally replied to Prosper's blog post by leaving a comment (which was deleted by moderators - grrrr), but found that there was more to pontificate on and kept going.

December 4, 2020 at 8:49 am ET After my initial reaction to Prosper removing group rewards, I spent some time understanding the (near) collective wisdom that group rewards needed to go.

December 3, 2020 at 7:56 am ET My previous attempt at getting a handle on how collections are proceeding on Prosper following the arrival of the new VP of operations didn't go so well.

December 2, 2020 at 11:03 am ET While reviewing Prosper's state lending limits to see if everyone had bumped up to 36%, I noticed that some of the values had drifted a bit from the last officially announced state limit change back ...

December 1, 2020 at 10:02 am ET Unlike many stores, I at least had the decency to avoid Christmas references until after Thanksgiving. Now onto the giftwrapped, linky goodness.

November 30, 2020 at 11:09 am ET 112233 over on prospers.org forums has noticed that the new Prosper forums are using Community Server 2007 as the technology base for the forums. I suspect that the moderation features were part of the considerations.

November 29, 2020 at 4:25 pm ET Remember those new features that Prosper unveiled at the Finvoate but didn't want to talk about? Well, the Finovate folks have finally published the video.

November 28, 2020 at 1:49 pm ET Prosper has unveiled their new forums (see zcommodore here and here, or RateLadder here) and they've not been well received. It's very nice that they tied the forum IDs to the Prosper lender/borrower ID. Unfortunately, ... (more) Thinking About Lending (1 click)

November 28, 2020 at 11:38 am ET Calculated Risk is one of my regular reading blogs for watching the sub-prime housing implosion.

November 21, 2020 at 6:15 pm ET For those vindictive lenders, this is a chance to savor the schadenfreude (not that there are any in the Prosper lending community who would be vindictive.

November 19, 2020 at 10:35 pm ET I'm going to be taking what I think is a well earned vacation over the next several days.
