Wonga Pay Day Loan

[coochy123]

Hi everyone,

 

I came across this forum after trying to find help on a Pay Day Loan I have with Wonga and 2 others. I scoured each forum and I have to say a massive thank you to you all. Your advice has been invaluable to me and I have emailed Wonga asking to enter into a payment plan using a template someone posted on here and within 10 minutes they'd replied accepting the proposed payments. This had taken a great weight from my shoulders! I just wanted to say thanks really, you've all been a great help!!!!!

We are here to help fight these PDL companies, hopefully you can get out of the trap and move on with your life.

 

Good on you for taking the advice and getting an arrangement, just try now and stick to it.

Its great that they all seem to be playing ball now the OFT is investigating . Lets hope its too little too late

Actually theres only a few that seem to be playing ball. The others need a little "encouragement"

[Iloveathens]

Oh like who?

[renegadeimp]

Pretty much all of them. Just reading these forums can show you that.

Think it was mentioned on Watchdog last night, there's about 50 companies being investigated

 

Not before time !

 

 

Can only hope the OFT will take action of an industry that needed control and curbing long before now - but then it is easier to say something then it is to do it

My understanding is that 50 have been looked at and from that the OFT will decide what action is to happen, i.e new guidelines etc, removal of licences. Lets hope they all get shut down

Yes, about time they were looked into. It is a pity the OFT can't act before the licences are issued. They ought to look into the backgrounds of the people behind these companies and then there would be a different outcome.

 

I also believe the OFT needs to scrap group licences for debt collection (and that goes for legal firms too - the so called 'solicitors for rent'). Each trading name should be a separate legal entity and have its own individual licence - that would cost this industry a small fortune in itself but would prevent the proliferation of companies 'just because they can'.

I agree but at the same time we are all innocent until proven guilty. It must be a great job being a rent a solicitor.....you can be evil and nasty to people and feel all big and clever, not to mention getting rich quick
