It's incredible that Virgin Money was able to charge this much. I used a product called LoanBack for a personal loan last year for a fraction of the cost. I was quite impressed with that product. They have been around for some time and have done over a billion in loans! Just checked out lendig karma as well. Looks good. I have been following this space closely because of personal interest.

Virgin invested over 50 million and has nothing to show for it. They were asleep at the wheel thinking social lending was a billion dollar business and then let Advani invest in the mortgage business at a time the industry was in shambles. Anyway you cut it Virgin Money USA is a failure. There was total mismanagement of the company and to say it was just restructuring is a joke.
