I am not after a Utopia, all I want is a fair shake, people paid in, people now find their money was wasted, because when they claim instead of getting it back they get a hard time.

There goes that broken record, 'playground bullies', people put forward their opinions, not everyone agrees and if they are like you then they will suffer criticism rather than praise.

I would recommend anyone on the forum to take a look at it. Interestingly every one of the 50+ loans I've made was repaid (my loss if it isn't) probably because these people need help but don't want charity/pity. |
Well, there you go again, you started with your very first post, 'Investing in Accrington', not so much praiseworthy, nor even worthy of praise, so much as 'hey look how good I am'!
You now tell us how you lend money 'to people in real need'.
Can I ask how do you define 'need'?
A woman so desperate she takes her own life? Or what?
Looking at what you've posted so far today she wasn't nor ever would be 'in real need', to you.
Allow me a few moments of brag, when I was wealthy enough being in a very well paid job my donations to the less fortunate until now were never broadcast and do you know whether they were for as little as 1p or umpteen thousand pounds, that's how they will remain, the people I assisted still don't know what I did, nor should it be spread around the WWW that would only be self gratification.
