This is the only credit type I can think of with this business structure. IOW, they have zero financial incentive to take anyone to court. Actually, most of the mortgage market is run this way. Only a small fraction of mortgages is held on the originator's books.

Actually, most of the mortgage market is run this way. Only a small fraction of mortgages is held on the originator's books.They have sold the loans to ONE company. For instance, when I first got my mortgage it was sold. Now THAT company holds the full amount. It wasn't sold to 300 people, it was sold to ONE company. These loans were never P-----r's to begin with. Comparing P-----r with CC companies, mortgage, car loan lenders, etc. is just silly, IMHO.
It could easily be owned by 300 people. You only know who the servicer is, not who the owners are.

How do mortgage backed securities not fit?
QuoteHow do mortgage backed securities not fit?I'll bite. A lot of those come with buyback provisions.Almost all are public traded companies also,where bad results tend to lower stock prices.

Not really. I believe that mortgage securities usually require the originating bank to buy back loans that default in the first 90 days, which would certainly be a nice guarantee to have from Prosper considering all the loans that fail to make the first, or second, or third payments.
In my experience the companies have to buy it back in the first 6 months
