    Thank you for the weekly summary. The roundup makes it a lot easier to keep up to date and learn about peer to peer lending. Did you ever post an article about the collection process at Lending Club, like the one you did for Prosper or did I miss it? Thanks again for all you do.

      I was planning on publishing that post on Lending Club collections last week but LC said they might be able to give some extra information to share but had to run it by legal team. I decided to hold off until I hear back from them. It should be this week some time I expect.
