As p2p investors we are funding loans all the time but we never know much about the people we are investing in. I want to try and change that a little. So, in this latest edition of the Lend Academy podcast we going over to the other side of the p2p lending equation as I talk with a borrower.
In this episode you will hear about the experience from Ivy K. a recent borrower at Lending Club:
- Why she decided to get a p2p loan.
- The challenges she had in getting a loan.
- The big difference between the interest rate quotes she received.
- What happened to her credit score after taking out a Lending Club loan.
- How she was able to pay off her loan early.
- The only debt that she will take on from now on.
- What she wants to do once she is debt free.

Thank you Peter, good interview! I wish all our borrowers would be like her!
Here’s a challenge for you – next podcast, interview someone who defaulted.
Ha! That would be a challenge…but I will keep my ears open. You never know.
Peter, I have listened to all of your podcasts as soon as you release them, however this is the first one that I found myself having a hard time hearing/understanding the person you interviewed. It was as if the call quality was different for this person than the previous people?
Thought you would want to know,
Chris
Thanks Chris. I appreciate you letting me know. Yes, this interviewee was on a cell phone that did not get great reception so it was fairly poor sound quality. Others have used microphone/headsets hooked up to a computer via Skype which gives great quality. I will keep it in mind for future podcasts.
My experience of this podcast was similar to Chris’s. The audio of the interviewee was so garbled, I gave up listening after a couple of minutes. Your side of the conversation came through loud and clear.
Thanks Dan, I will be more careful about this in future.
