No loan confirmations for me in either account since October 2nd. I've had one really weird event happen that I've been meaning to post about too.
On October 7th there was a loan that I really wanted in Haiti. (
www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=67906). So I put it in my basket and paid for it with partial credit. It never showed up in my basket, and I was so upset, because it was a rare loan to a rare country. Thankfully I noticed it never showed up, and stashed another loan in my basket in case the glitch didn't get addressed via contacting 'contactus'. Since I never heard back in a timely manner that day (didn't think I would) and fearing it would drop out of my basket I went to loan to it again when I noticed that my credit had increased to a perfectly rounded off $25. So what had happened, instead of getting the loan, I only received Kiva credit. This wasn't right, I most definitely went through the right procedure for the loan to be in my basket. So because I wanted the loan, I used the credit and re-loaned to the entrepreneur, and then wrote back to 'contactus' with the information on the added new twist to my loan issue. Yes, the loan is in my basket, but because I reloaned to it, the glitch is now a bigger glitch. Thankfully the second loan went through without issue, and it sits happily in my portfolio. It wasn't until two weeks later on October 20th that I heard back from Gerard saying, 'Yes, you have a paypal deposit and a loan purchase here are the transactions ..., hope that helps!'
Um no, it doesn't help, I know that is what the transactions say, but that is NOT what was actually
done. My frustration of not having the details in my emails noticed or recognized won out over battling it more.
Now after each loan, I ALWAYS go back and review how much Kiva Credit I have and if the loan has been added to my portfolio after checking out.
