Name: Joseph Thaman on Sep 16, 2008Comments: This is ridiculous - I have yet to read the specific regulations at work here, or contact the relevant state legislators and regulators, but rest assured I will. This is a pure intrusion on the rights of the individual, not suprising in a state that keeps a stranglehold on many other innocuous things like, alcohol sales (Anybody wanna try to buy a bottle of wine after 5PM on Sunday)Flag

Name: Robert Slater on Sep 16, 2008Comments: I want my freedom back to participate in lending through prosper.com immediately. What regulation, sponsored by what special interest, has caused the PA State Government to do this to prosperFlag

Name: Erin Leddy on Sep 16, 2008Comments: I am shocked that our own PA legislators would stop us from helping others through properly handled loans! This is a situation where EVERYONE is happy (lenders and borrowers alike). I would hate to think that I live in a state where that freedom and originality is purposely stopped. This is discrimination pure and simple. Shame on you, and by the way, I VOTE.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Sep 17, 2008Comments: This is very disappointing. I have a small LLC and this was to become a serious portion of the companies earnings. There was no warning. I am hoping this is but a temporary misunderstanding and lending can continue as before!Flag

Name: Tony Aka "Investar" On Prosper on Sep 17, 2008Comments: I am a Pennsylvania resident who has retained Prosper Marketplace Inc. et al, to facilitate my ernest desire to provide monetary assistance to certain private individuals. I may, and have, freely proffered Uncollateralized Promissory Notes without an intermediary within and without the Commonwealth, why am I prohibited from retaining structured counsel of my choosing to suggest candidates to me, prepare the legal note for me, and act as servicing and accounting agent on my behalf, all as bot parties have agreed shall be pleasant and expedientFlag

Name: Jeff on Sep 20, 2008Comments: I have been using prosper since Nov. 2007 and enjoyed helping out fellow people who are in need of financial assistance. I scrapped together the funds I could and lent it out; however, this comes as a shock, dissapointment, and outrage. I have begun withdrawing my funds from Prosper as they are paid. I think this was a very unwise move on their mark.Flag

Name: Richard Wilhelm on Sep 20, 2008Comments: This outrage does need to be corrected. So, PA regulations regarding loans and rate caps are to protect the citizens So how about going after those loan shark payday loans that average 400% APR or MORE!!!. Instead of doing the banking industries dirty business and putting a halt on a RELIABLE, NON-USURAY, FREE- MARKET such as PROSPER that BORROWERS and LENDERS alike are all in favor for why not let the economy prosper!!Flag

Name: Kyler Hosanna on Sep 20, 2008Comments: I feel that this is completely the wrong way to go. Free markets are supposed to do as they will, and having government step in, when not needed, is completely detrimental to this.Flag

Name: Carl Wojtaszek on Sep 21, 2008Comments: Remove the lending and borrowing restrictions facing peer-to-peer loan market in the state of PA. A free market system for loans in the state will only benefit investment and growth in a state that is attempting to re-develop itself as it faces the 21st century.Flag
