Would You Disclose Your Name On Zopa?
Or any other financial site, that gave loans?
Zopa allows me to see who I have lent money to, their payment history and a few other details. Normally, the person is only identified by a code name. So you could lend to someone called MickeyMouse or Graham171.
In two cases though, I’ve been able to identify the borrower. One was actually someone, that I knew and the other is a reputable professional living and working in London.
Both incidentally, have had immaculate payment records, so they have nothing to hide.
But I do find it strange that someone would join a financial site and make it possible to identify them.

People are strange. I dont understand who have open facebook profiles that anyone can see, or people who put lots of pictures of their children on facebook, and include enough detail that someone could find them.

You could say, I’m being fairly open here, but I don’t leave my details, although a couple of people have identified me. But hey, I don’t care and I might like an old flame or two to look me up.
