Did anyone ask Prosper, yet?  I have only read to around pg 27 of the latest prospectus (though scanned the rest of it) and I noticed some changes in there that aren't currently live, like 3 month to 7 year loans.

Perhaps it's an upcoming feature, or perhaps it's a mistake reflecting a disconnect between legal/platform.
I dunno - but I bet I could fire off an email and find out pretty quick, if I really wanted to find out which...

Bet you can't - I dare you.   ;D ;D ;D

Prosper customer support responded today:
Quote
As part of our continuing refinements in risk modeling for peer-to-peer lending, we are proposing the implementation of maximum loan amounts based on a borrower’s Prosper Rating.  As with all SEC filings, the proposed changes will not be implemented until the S-1 amendment has been accepted by the SEC and deemed effective.

This response is clear and makes sense. 

I don't agree with their notion that they would need to wait for the SEC to ok them to put additional restrictions on borrowers.

How do we know when a "post effective amendment" becomes "effective" ?
