		<description>Great article about Net Promoter scores…we watch them closely at our company.  I know we are way ahead of the industry (mortgage) with our region gaining a 90 net promoter score.  Net promoter is an important measurement that the public should know about.

		<description>No offense, but the question that begs to be asked is why you executed a contract knowing that you had a prepayment penalty / back payments that you wouldn&#039;t be satisfied from the proceeds at closing.  Unless you have a clause allowing you to bail out of the contract in this situation, you&#039;ve put yourself and the buyer in a bad situation. 

You will likely never get above a first level manager at Countrywide, especially as they&#039;re downsizing rapidly and upper managers are too busy putting out fires on other loans to deal with yours.  I wish you luck, but [...]</description>

		<description>Besides that, this article and your investment analysis doesn&#039;t take into account the Origination/Closing Fees that LC charges.

That rate varies from 0.75% (for the highest FICO score borrowers) to 3.50% for most.  That means on a blended basis, you&#039;re paying approximately 3% in origination fees on top of the 1% service fee being charged by Lending Club.

The real rate of return therefore isn&#039;t 9.05% but 6.05%.  That&#039;s about 2x the best short-term CD out there for a lot more work and a lot more risk.  It might be worth it if we were talking about being able to [...]</description>
