I just logged into my kiva account couse I had an email saying I had kiva credit some days ago. I got in and I have 410 dollars! but that is impossible, I still have the same number of active loans and paid back. And I never lended so much money at once, and I always borrow multiple of 25 dollars ammount. I hope this is a small bug it only happen to me. Or could a lot of my lendings with Brac uganda been canceled and payid back at once? I dont think its possible because I dont have that much money into only one FMI. If anybody has personal contact with kiva please let them know about this bug. I emailed them but if this is a general bug and people start retriving their money could be very bad for giva. I am almoust 100% sure the money is not mine. so if you know anything about this please let me know

regards

Kiva introduced a partial repayments scheme, that means you will now receive the partial repayments as soon as they come in...happy lending!

Thank you. I havent received any email from them about this. If they didnt send one, its a bit of an error in comunication. But its really good, lots of relending...

They were sending messages out in blocks, and I guess you were one of the later blocks.  It took all day to get the credits to us, and then they were tackling notification.  It is probably good that ALL of us didn't try to loan at once anyway.  Loans were not available for overnight, and then Sept 1 we got more!

Happy loaning!

I received the big one-time email about 6 p.m. E.T. Friday the 29th, and then an email and (partial) partial payments for some of the loans which I should have (based on past history) received partial payments for on Saturday, August 30th around 10:20 a.m. E.T. that day, and then nothing (email or payments) since.

They may still be playing catch-up in a big way...

I'll say big time catch-up, all I recieved was a notifcation today (about 5am EST) that I had kiva credit and weird amount +change, I was so confused.  Fortunely I remember kiva friends and was able to figure it out.

Of course I was only able to fund one loan before I got the message that all loans have been funded for now.  I'll keep checking back.
