What Happens If Your SoLo Funds Request Doesn’t Get Funded?
Quick Take
- If a loan request on SoLo Funds doesn’t attract a lender, it expires without any penalty to the member.
- An unfunded request does not affect the member’s SoLo Score. The score is built from repayment history, not from unfunded requests.
- Members can adjust the request and resubmit. A higher tip offer or a different repayment date may attract more lender interest.
Good to Know
- Tips on SoLo Funds are voluntary and set by the member requesting funds. No mandatory interest charges apply.
- Funding on SoLo is not guaranteed and is subject to lender acceptance.
- SoLo does not report to the major credit bureaus. Third-party collectors may have different reporting practices.
Not every loan request on SoLo gets funded. That is part of how a peer marketplace works. Lenders choose which requests to fund based on the SoLo Score, the tip offered, the repayment date, and other factors they see in the request. Here is what happens when a request doesn’t get picked up.
What Happens When a Request Expires Unfunded
If a loan request doesn’t attract a lender within the request window, it expires. No money is deducted. No fee is charged. The member’s SoLo Score is not affected. The request just closes without a match.
The member can review the request, make adjustments, and resubmit.
Does an Unfunded Request Hurt the SoLo Score?
No. The SoLo Score is built from bank account activity and from repayment history on the platform. A request that didn’t get funded has no impact on the score. Only late or missed repayments can negatively affect the score.
How to Improve Your Chances on Resubmission
A few factors that lenders pay attention to when reviewing requests:
Tip offer. Tips are voluntary and set by the member requesting funds. A higher optional tip can make a request more attractive to lenders. It is not required, but it matters.
Repayment date. A repayment date that is close to the next expected income event gives lenders a clearer picture. A date that seems realistic based on account patterns is more fundable.
SoLo Score. A higher SoLo Score signals lower risk to lenders. Building the score takes time and consistent on-time repayments, but each successful repayment improves the member’s profile.
Request amount. Smaller requests attract funding more easily than larger ones, especially for members with lower SoLo Scores or limited platform history. Starting with a smaller request and building up is a common approach.
What the Request Window Looks Like
Members can see the status of their open request in the app. If no lender has funded the request and the window closes, the member is notified. There is no waiting period before resubmitting.
