I was about to comment that scores of borrowers *would*, consciously or subconsciously, appeal to the social aspect of the relationship in order to prioritize other debts, rendering this lending plan as notorious as lending to friends and family. After doing a bit of follow-up reading (before commenting, for once) I found that none of the above will be a problem. Going through with this comment to prevent others from coming to similar assumptions :). Because Zopa diversifies lenders' contributions into 50 quid increments across multiple loans, emotive exchanges and negative sensitivities are all but nullified. Well done, guys!
