OK, so dumb question, Dottie: How do we notify them of suspicious activity in a timely manner if they take three days to get back to us?  Huh?

I dunno. For one thing, I guess we could start checking the baskets more than three days before they expire.   Undecided

A late response doesn't necessarily equal to a delay in action. I once left a voice mail and an and e-mail about something and it was rectified within in a matter of hours and I never got a reply back.

Hooray, the closest to expiring loan currently posted has 10 days left and is 88% funded. The total number of loans posted is shrinking at a normal rate, unlike last month, so by the end of this month, there shouldn't be too many left. I'm a little worried about the huge chunk of Lebanese men coming up, but it's nothing that KF's and Team LLL can't see to, if that even becomes necessary. Ahhh! As much as I truly enjoy the rush of near expiry loan frenzy, it is also nice to have a lull.

If you take a look on the "Expiring soon" list you will find within the 7 next expiring loans:

2 loans were the photo of the borrower is not displayed in the lending section but only the kiva symbol:
http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=115135
http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=105082

3 loans from Fundación Agrocapital without a borrower in the picture:
http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=116659
http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=115147
http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=116676

I have sent the first two to contactus as I think this is a mistake on Kiva's site. Any ideas what or if we can do something in the case of the Fundacion Agrocapital loans?  Undecided
I had sent them already an email when a lot of their loans were about to expire with suggestions how they could improve their loan write-ups and photos but did not get an answer yet. Therefore I am not sure if it helps to write them again...
