When we encountered expensive household repairs, medical expenses, and wedding costs all at once, my husband and I learned the folly of not having a fully funded emergency fund. We came up short and began evaluating our options. We wanted to avoid a ...

Not impressed at all with Prosper
by mikespike ,Feb 20 '07
No where else will you be scrutinized so hard for a 50 dollar loan. The lenders on this site will ask you to open up your veins for a very small loan and personally attack you on every negative aspect of your history. Very judgmental bunch of people. Like many things, great concept but is ruined because of the types of people it draws. There are questions around the principals of the company. Do some careful research before you do any significant business on this site.

Loser invesments-Don't Bother!
by poz99 ,Sep 09 '08
I bid on and have funded several loans through prosper. You have to wait 3 years to get all your money back-all the loans are for periods of 3 years. It is such a waste of time to "invest" your money here. You search for loans you want to fund which is very time consuming, reading peoples lame stories of how they promise to pay money back and have never paid a bill late. Several of my loans are late, which means I have to pay a collection agency a huge % fee of the amount collected-IF THEY EVER PAY! I only funded loans with a high credit rating AA, A and a few B's (assigned by prosper) Just so you know-my late loans are mostly AA rated.
