New forum - let me know if there are any problems

[Brendan Burgess]

I have moved all the threads on vulture funds into this separate forum.

Permissions on Xenforo are complicated to set.

Please let me know if you have any problems posting, replying or posting attachments.

Is the term 'vulture funds' pejorative and if so, should the forum be renamed?

 

[Horatio]

It reads like an intuitive title IMO. Everyone will understand what is being discussed inside.

Hi Paul

For a long time I avoided using that term in media interviews referring to "non-bank lenders".

But I gave it as it had become the accepted term.

And, they are now behaving like vultures anyway.

Hi Paul

Here is the Central Bank terminology
From the letter to Pearse Doherty

and

From the Mortgage arrears data

 

[tallpaul]

'Non-lending firms' is more correct but meaningless to Joe or Josephine Public and most users of this site. A forum title called 'Non-lending Banks (Vulture Funds)' might be more accurate but perhaps a little unwieldy.

What's an "NBNL"?
Non-bank non-lender?

 

[Brendan Burgess]

Yes. I find it all very confusing.
