I had a note go late, but instead of showing up in "Past due (1-30 days)" it was immediately listed as "Past due (31+ days)." How is it possible it skipped being late 1-30 days?

I'm not sure. Can you post a link to the note?

The link to the LoanPerformance page only works for lenders who are on that loan. On that page, there is a link called "View Listing". Can you open that and tell us the Listing Number of the loan that you have a question about? It's the last 6 digits of the Listing page's link (e.g. 633560 in https://www.prosper.com/invest/listing.aspx?listingID=633560).

I'm putting together a tool to calculate dollar loan returns for any loan or portfolio on Prosper (www.lendingchampion.com) and I think that I have a guess as to what might have happened. I usually see a loan gap from Current to 31+days late when:
1. The borrower is late and the note is marked as 15-30 days late
2. The borrower makes a payment and Prosper marks the loan as Current
3. The payment fails. This usually takes 3-5 days business days to be reflected in the payment history.
4. Prosper marks the loan as 15-30 days late again or, if enough time has passed, 31+ days late.

Do you have examples of listings that have done this? I have not seen this pattern of delinquency in my portfolio. Most of my "bad" loans come back and make at least some payments after the initial failed payment with the obvious exception of BK filings.

I've tried for the last 10 mins to post a screenshot but keep getting an error message. I'll have make do with a cut and paste of the payments. It was only listed as late on Jan. 19 and went directly to 31+ days late without passing Go.

That's a good question, it sure seems like the loan should have been marked as Late <15d from ~Dec. 31st to ~Jan 17th (end of the two week grace period to being 1 month late on the Dec. payment). It's also curious that there is no attempted "Automatic" payment around the Jan. 17th due date in the payment history. You can ask Prosper about it; they sometime take a while to get back to me but can be quite helpful when they do.

This is an example of what I was describing previously: http://postimage.org/image/4bkslwvez/

The loan was marked as "Current" while the December payment was "Processing". It was also marked as "Current" from Jan 7th to Jan 24th even though it did not make its December principal payment (there was an interest-only payment).
