(( This a COMPLAINT ))! Listing started on a friday was F
ULLY funded by Tuesday after 1:00pm. Now here’s where the FUN begins! From Friday they had been requesting copy of id and canceled check. Everything else was completed and a go. Preapproved the whole nine yards. I’ve sent the copies of id and canceled check over 20 times. They were peristant in sending NUMEROUS emails stating they need id and canceled/voided check. The following Friday I receive a phone call from Mr Prosper Agent to call him back. Called
twice, left messages. Even sent a email to let him know I’m trying to contact him. After 3 hours of WASTING TIME, not including from this past week!!!! I logged into STUPID PROSPER.COM checking out my account status/listing page. Nothing and no notice of emails. Just after (5:00pm) glens there’s an email stating ACCOUNT CLOSED, we could NOT verify information you provided. Bloody idiots COULD NOT verify my canceled/voided check?!?! Damn LIARS! At this point I’m convenced the only thing their doing is FRAUD, and IDENTIY theft! After 8 emails stating they NEED VOIDED/CANCELED CHECK. Give me a FRIGGIN break, took the pictures 12 TIMES and at different angles/ways!!! Will NOT RECOMMEND to any one and now I’ll have to WATCH MY TRW’S, due to them REQUESTING SAME DOCUMENT over, over, over AND over!!! I RECOMMEND LENDINGTREE.COM. What gets me is I probably have a better credit rating then they do!” Oh that’s RIGHT I DO! I wasn’t the one SUED over FRAUD! Good luck PAYING all those “BORROWERS”back! Enough said, thumbs down and no stars!! Big FAT GOOSE EGG!

I forgot to mention that Google Reader is very helpful in troubleshooting the Spreadsheet link before you take it into PHP/Wordpress.

Glad it is working for you!

Thanks mark, that solved my issues of numbers being 0.
With a little custom html & php code, I was able to get the format that I wanted.

I did simplify the process by putting all of the code together in the shortcode (yours plus mine), and skipped the header.php step.

Thanks for creating a super easy plugin that gets the job done!

Great plugin here – it’s exactly what I need. Running into a few issues, perhaps I’m not implementing it correctly. Would you mind taking a look to see what’s going on?

From your example, I only see the numeric data in the php, and not the text string. On the home page it should format like this:
Huron: XXXX
Ontario: XXXX
Superior: XXXX
Michigan: XXXX
Erie: XXXX

Thanks for the help!

Guess my question is, to the borrower here who has an “800 ish” credit score, is why he/she would trahs talk prosper and then think that their approved 9.5% loan was some kind of deal. If you make the kind of money you SAY you do, and make the $125K plus you SAY you do per year, then why would you ever accept a 9.5% interest rate from anywhere? I make about 80K per year and can go to my credit union any day of the week and get 25K unsecured for about 4.5% and just to be upfront, I’m not anywhere near “800 ish” in my credit score. Actually, I run about 710 FICO. So, you’re making something(s) up in your story, or else you’re just that gullible to a bad bank.

Wow this was fantastic. I had previously read about the winsxs folder and saw the DISM tool somewhere else but this succinct post convinced me to try it and it worked great. My winsxs folder was taking up 12.2GB on my lowly 64GB Win7 SSD (over 20%!!!) and now it’s down to 8.1GB. It saved 7% of my SSD space.

I used WinDirStat too by the way.

Man THANK YOU so much. My winsxs folder was almost 13GB, and I got it down to 6.6GB after this command.

I have a Vertex2 60GB that iREALLY like to keep as close to 50% free as possible, and I was down to 16GB free or so. This is a Audio Workstation for recording and editing music, so the majority of what is installed is NOT stuff I can simply just remove to save space. Especially when its useless windows files like I just removed that are hogging that space and SHOULD go FIRST!

SO again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

ppl just dont take the time to say thank you anymore.
I appreciate this!
Thanks!

Besides lost my principal, I had to enter very long data into my income tax filing.

Amanda — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 22:27:06 +0000

Prosper canceled my loan after several weeks because I played phone tag with a representative. He called me on my mobile while I was at work. He left me a message and as soon as I could I called him back and got his voicemail. I left him a message. This happened 2 times. He tried calling me a third time, again – while I was at work, did not leave me a message and minutes later my listing was canceled.

My loan was fully funded. I was a AA borrower and I provided them with every bit of documentation they asked for in a timely manner. They had all of my personal information – all of my financial information. BUT, because the representative whose job it was to contact me on the phone failed to do so, my loan was thrown in the trash. I was NEVER told that if I didn’t talk to the Prosper representative on the phone in a certain amount of days that all of my hard work was going to be wasted.

In summary, this was a VERY disappointing experience with a company that does not care about people.

The returns are much better now – as is the economy. You should try it – they’ve got a 4% cashback bonus going on right now if you open a $25k account. That’s a heck of an interest rate cushion – and, additionally, their automatic underwriting algorithm is NICE.

Comment on Honda Civic How to: Disable the Day Time Running Lights and Seat Belt Chime by Destructa

Destructa — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:42:40 +0000

This “safety feature” has the effect of nagging a driver who puts a purse, pizza box, or other object on the passenger seat while driving alone. You can just fasten the seat belt and put your stuff on top, which is still an annoyance, but doesn’t cost $4 and won’t get lost. Any live human in my car is going to either wear a seat belt or take a long walk.
I don’t see the point of running lights. If the vehicle appears to be getting larger or smaller, it’s moving! That’ll be the first fuse I pull if I get a new car.

Comment on Problems with Prosper.com by Disgruntled PROSPER Customer

Disgruntled PROSPER Customer — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 01:20:49 +0000

I posted this somewhere else, I’m posting this here as well to spread the word. Karma.

I don’t want to leave my name for fear of retribution (They have many sensitive documents and could do some damage to my identity) But I have to agree with this poster… The customer service at PROSPER is offensively horrible! They do not give a flying F- about you, and won’t spend one second to remedy the simplest issue that may be a stumbling block for THEM to get your loan through to origination resulting in you being DENIED for a loan.

I Tried to get a loan with Prosper for 25K, (The most they will lend out) I make around 100K a year, get a tax return of around 15K per year and a bonus of around 20K a year, so I make good money… My “Experian Plus” credit score was about an 800, no problem there. My loan funded in under 4 days. Good to go! (Or so I thought), I am an honest person, and I planned to pay it back in 2 years, not 5. I have paid off many loans in the past and never misses a payment, and would have had no issues paying off this one as well making everybody involved happy, but that was no to be. I started uploading the necessary paperwork and had it all uploaded within a day. The problem started because I went from contractor status to full-time the year before so my bonus was pro-rated for one month and apparently they couldn’t wrap their heads around this. Really? Is it really that hard to multiply the amount in my check by 12 and add the tax back in to see how much I will get that year and compare it to what I claimed?!

Every time I called I got a pissy, huffy, bubble gum snapping 16 year old on the phone that just oozed indifference and contempt for me when I was being perfectly nice and patient despite the fact that I wanted to scream into there ears until the “Whatever” attitude blew out the other side. I was simply trying to explain my situation (Which was not complicated, nor was I long winded). I had one girl that would raise her voice to the point of yelling over me EVERY TIME I tried to say a single thing in a tone that can only be described as “Bitchy”. Mind you I kept my composure to be the bigger person as not to escalate the situation, after all they have my future in their hands and I didn’t want to screw that up by pissing off a immature teen who has my SS #, address, etc. right in front of them, and would have no ethical quandary about emailing my info to the world. I got the sense she didn’t give and S- about her job. What kind of customer service is that!? It didn’t end there, I got another gem on the phone later on who was as rude and unhelpful as the first.

The email system… I am all for no-contact online systems you can breeze through to get something you need done – as long as they work. I felt like no one was home, and I was getting emails from Robo-tron 5000. I would get a “We could not verify yada-yada” email, at which point I would try to email them back but NO ONE would EVER get back to me. Don’t tell me there is a problem over email and then disappear never to be heard from again. Naturally I’m going to have questions after an email like that… Like IDK, “WHY”!?, or, “What can I do to help you help me close this loan!?”… nope, nothin’. Try emailing them back, I dare you. You think you’ll get a response? Good luck.

Long story short, Prosper’s system is flawed, and their customer service is the WORST I have ever encountered. Steer clear, their rates are not that great anyway… 11% when I have an 800-ish credit score!? Are you serious!? I went to my Credit Union and they gave me a 9.5.

I will never even attempt to use them again. And I’m letting everyone I know how bad my experience was in an attempt to either make Prosper wake up and fix the problem, or go down in flames.

I’ve had a great experience on Prosper. My returns are excellent and the customer service has been great. Since 2009, their returns have been stellar and you can’t combat that. They learned their lesson to assign the interest rates to borrowers themselves (which they now do), and also to tighten up the requirement to get in, atleast a 640 credit score. Prosper.com is a great place to make good money on investing in solid personal loans.

Comment on Lunarpages Sucks! – A New Host Recommendation: Dreamhost by Mark

Thanks for the feedback. You are correct. It is quite possible that it was entirely my fault.

However, when a company turns a site off with no warning and then won’t give any insight into why, that’s a problem.

When you subsequently move the site in its exact configuration to a different host and have zero issues or turn offs, that tells me the problem lies with the crappy host.

I have had a good experience with prosper, I have been involved for over a year. I manually select all loans, and have a seasoned rate of a little over 17% and non-seasoned of about 14%. My formula is to scan for those who have any delinquent status, I choose those with none. I also check and make an assumption for stated income, I am wary of those with 100k and high interest loans. One last thing, among my other decision ideas, is they (98.2123123% of the time) must have taken the time to right why they are asking for a loan. Live well and prosper.

Comment on Shrink the Size of Winsxs in Windows 7 by Mark

Mark — Fri, 25 May 2012 02:17:44 +0000

I can’t really speak to that as:
1 – I have no VDI experience, yet. Not that it isn’t on my plate. It’s more like it could be the dessert course of my project buffet. Just haven’t gotten around to tackling any VDI projects yet.

2 – And there may be another command, but the only one I could find for Win7 at all was the dism command. There were some tools in Vista that addressed this issue, but those were left out of Win7.

Some questions (none of which necessarily solve your issue):
- Could you map the user’s file storage to a network share somewhere?
- Could the image you are publishing to your VDI clients be rebuilt? That’s probably a nuclear solution, and may end in the same result knowing how MS abuses HD space.

Comment on Shrink the Size of Winsxs in Windows 7 by Funk Thompson

Funk Thompson — Thu, 24 May 2012 20:04:49 +0000

So… any way to shrink it beyond the DISM command? We are doing a VDI project and many users on VDI are running out of disk space, with WinSxS folder taking up about 5 to 7 GB on average. These are VDI’s allocated to 33GB, and Windows is taking up 15GB of that on its own… another 7 or 8 in Program Files on average, etc. and we have a bunch of users with only 1 to 2 GB free at most.

And, because these are Windows SP-1 Builds – they were installed using Win7 SP1 and never had the service pack actually applied – the DISM command does nothing.

I’ve read that this keeps copies of every type of component install for every system type, even if you don’t have that type of system… ex. AMD vs. Intel and x86 vs. x64 files. There must be a way for Win7 to only keep what you use, and trash the rest… or better yet, profile the system and only grab the things you need.

This is intriguing. I’ve had a great experience with Prosper. My investing goes back to the summer of 2008. In the early days, I had some bad notes, but I diversified pretty strongly between notes, so it didn’t hurt too bad. After the relaunch, my return has been much better and the number of bad notes has been substantially reduced. I’ve had very few bad notes since the relaunch. Again, I diversify like crazy, and the bad notes I have had have been mostly D or E ratiings. I calculate my total loss rate to be 5%. That’s not bad. I can’t speak to your other concerns, but as far as the return and loss rate goes, I’m very happy with Prosper.

For a more subjective reason why a bright and varied scheme such as the Author’s is “better”, Excel highlighting is often about distinguishing different types of data, not about aesthetics. ALL of Microsoft’s existing schemes are lacking in this aspect: they concentrate too much on one side of the spectrum, mostly grays and blues, and most of them have no yellow at all. Mark’s scheme is better because it makes more use of the color spectrum.

That's a very interesting way to use Piwik. Great thinking. To go even further, it might be possible to avoid configuring one site for each item, this is something you would want if you are tracking other sites as well or selling items in different craiglist sites (newyork, washingtondc, ..). One could write a simple PHP or JAVA script using http://piwik.org/docs/tracking-api/#toc-how-to-use-the-php-tracker-api-example that would allow a enhanced version of the image tracker like so : piwik-craiglist.php?idsite=1&rec=1&productid=MY_PRODUCT″ style=”border:0″ alt=”" /> The custom script would then record the product view using goal conversions (http://piwik.org/docs/tracking-goals-web-analytics/) or custom variables (http://piwik.org/docs/custom-variables/).

The service is faster than Jimmy Johns, the quality is consistent, and no one leaves hungry as the portions are generous.

Josh:

Thanks for your comment!

I found out after I posted this that by putting one tracking number per message, the parser will properly associate that subject with the tracking number. That is great and I can definitely live with this.

But, in my perfect world, what I would love to see is that I could send an email with multiple tracking numbers where each line has a description – tracking number so that it would parse all those into separate shipments.

The message I referred to in my original post was a notification from Borders.com (I think) that took various other numbers in the message and found 5 or so non-tracking numbers, but created shipments for them on TrackThePack. I’ll see if I can’t find that original message and forward it to you at info@trackthepack.com.

On an unrelated note, I’ve had a couple shipments lately that are UPS numbers that are failing to load into Track the Pack. I’ll send those as well.

Thanks,
Mark

Sorry the email parser gave you trouble (that’s the first I’ve heard of anyone having 6 tracking numbers parsed out of one emails…the most I’ve seen is 3, but even that is pretty rare). Definitely shoot me an email about it if you get a chance.

As for the subject line in the emails, you can actually already do that. Just change the subject line to what you want the note for the package to be and we’ll pick it up and use it (specifically, remove the “FWD” or “FW” that your email software adds).

Hope that helps and thanks again!

Josh

P.S. I LOVE the way at about 4:45 Peyton is thinking, “I have to be ready for the play” and settles down. That’s so how he plays quarterback!

maybe people like looking stupid sometimes. it’s not a big deal. do like I do and just use your hands as blinders.

(also, have you ever thought that maybe stupid people can’t help looking stupid or doing stupid things? lowest common denominator, my friend. so don’t get so upset, it’s the one thing that the millions of diverse stupids can do together to unite towards a common goal. It’s almost a beautiful thing, actually. if you want, join the “anti-blues power play dance” group on facebook. I have this hypothesis that if all stupid people like the dance then all the smart people will hate it. yet again, those ridiculous moves may actually be a blessing in disguise. Now, STUPID DANCE, may I call you STUPID DANCE? we, the members of the anti blues power play dance are not huge fans of cynicism or typing in all caps. you may, if you wish to join the group, need to eradicate these habits.)
