My 3rd loan completed a couple of days ago:

I never got the the Loan Redemption email, or any emal in fact to say the last payment was made.

Any ideas?

This has happened to me before.  My advice would be just to give it a couple more days before you start worrying about it -- I think there is sometimes some lag between when the MFI updates the borrower's last payment and when all the associated transactions have gone through to make the money available to the lender again.

I see, yeah I think that must be what happened - it just came through.

I just had a loan repaid in full and the credit showed up at the top of my portfolio.  There were three choices given--reloan, donate, withdraw. I decided to split it up and proceeded to make two new loans.  Now I have $25 credit left but there are only two choices showing for my credit --reloan is not showing up as an option.  Huh?  I want to reloan.   Embarrassed

I got the email saying my loan paid off, and it has been over a day.  There is still no credit.  This seems a pretty simple programming thing, and I wonder why it isn't almost simultaneous...

Somewhere there is a new loan waiting for this money!

The third choice never did show up at the top of my portfolio, but when I made a loan to Mozambique (our daughter spent a year there) the checkout asked if I wanted to use my credit, so I said yes and it did.  Happy ending! Cheesy

Speaking of Mozambique--  Hey Diane, I noticed you joined us in lending to Mozambique today.  Smiley  She's fully funded now.

Yes, I did! My husband has done some work in Maputo, and I'd been watching for someone to support who seemed as if they'd make good use of their loan. The first time I looked, she needed $125 more, I looked away, I looked back and she was in that "(total) Raised so far" status, where people still have amounts in their baskets but never checked out. They finally timed out and I joined you. You say your daughter worked there? I may have a chance to visit there with him later in the year: maybe I should look up Celina's shop!

It's funny that the more you know the harder it is to discern what is a good loan.  Undecided  Where she was in rural Mozambique, our daughter could hardly count on electricity, but cell phones worked great!  She was out in the villages in Gaza province (where our borrower was from) in Guija, a town along the Limpopo River (The one which inundated more than half the province in 2000).  So far all the Kiva loans have been in Boane, which isn't too far from Maputo.
