“Squash and a Squeeze....”
Written on: 02/05/2013
This company are fantastic if you just want to borrow £100 to tide you over but beware.... This can snowball and before you know you owe them £367 because it's just too tempting to top up that loan when you are short. I have spent most of this evening fretting over awful reviews of this company and nearly crying over horror stories of them clearing bank accounts as soon as funds are available. This having been my third day in arrears i was having visions of staying up all night to transfer... (read more)

Written on: 01/05/2013
Wonga advertise that they can have the funds in your account in as little as one hour. It's now 3 days later and they STILL haven't shown up. When I called to see what was happening the representative was rude and did NOTHING to help me resolve the situation I needed the small loan to help cover a really last minute trip to Toronto which was happening before my pay check arrived. My pay check arrived AND I had my trip and the loan still isn't here. I will NEVER borrow from Wonga again. (read more)

Well, if Wonga is not responding to your inquiries, please, contact the financial-ombudsman.
I absolutely support you on this that it's a small amount of £30, but principal is more than money sometimes.
Do the following:
Explain it all by calling, or better by writing to Financial Ombudsman and adding any e-mails received from Wonga confirming that you repaid them (Wonga) in full and copies of all the illegal charges from your account after that final full repayment date (the £30).
Or you can call once again to Wonga and ask them to return your £30, or you will contact Financial Ombudsman in regards to this matter and also you will ask Ombudsman to get you the compensation for your time taken up (£10/hour) to retrieve your rightful money (the £30).
So you pick what you want to do.

I am having the same problem! I have applied for my third loan after paying back early each time, and am getting rejected despite my trust rating meaning that I can apparently apply for £870. I'm in a bit of trouble because I paid the last one back early with the expectation I would be able to take another. I am switching from weekly to monthly pay AND recovering from moving, so this is an awkward time for me! I wouldn't normally want to take out so many loans but the fact I could has been a huge help, until now. I am now finding myself wondering how to meet the costs of basics. I shouldn't have paid them back early.

Wonga is one of only a few companies that seem to offer real quick transfers, once approved it really can take just 15 minutes day or night, this is if you meet the automated systems requirments. However, the customer service is awful, maybe they are just too popular with not enough staff, emails go unawnsered for 4+ days at a time, and often then do not awnser the origonal question.

I took out a loan with Wonga, initially for £300. However, I took out further increments up to £1,000 using their clever 'top-up' service. It is clever too, as the money is there, you're tempted to take it and they know it!!

Hi, the best thing you can do is open a new bank account with a different bank. Even a basic account would do. Then arrange to have your pay sent to this account and clear out the account linked to your Wonga loan. Sure you will get lots of emails, texts and possibly calls, but only deal with them in WRITING and make them aware of this. Offer them a payment plan and they will, eventually, agree to one. It could take a lot of effort, but they would prefer that you want to pay than not want to. I offered them a 6 month plan but they actually offered me back a 12 month plan, which made things a LOT easier. To be fair, they were good with my situation and didn't badger me for more money and the only communications were offers to settle in full for a lesser amount, if you can afford it that is. I would certainly recommend opening the new bank a/c. If you don't have time, then extend what you owe for a month until you can sort one. OK, it will cost you more in interest, but will give you some breathing space. Good luck!

I am absolutely disgusted with this lot. Just found out my 18yr old son was granted a payday loan from Wonga. HE IS ON JOB SEEKERS ALLOWANCE and I assumed that my son had somehow lied on his application. He hadn't, I checked, they have a drop down box to lend to people on Jobseekers. THIS MUST BE STOPPED!!! How can a company LEGALLY lend to people who actually have no way of paying the money back. My son doesn't have the money to pay them back in one go, as you can imagine, so Wonga... (read more)

Stay clear , got a payday loan , released once it processed that it was due to take it out 1 day earlier before payday , contact the customer care team to advise them of this , the exact words was I can't help you !!!! For a £200 loan I ended up paying £273 back , £23 being a late payment charge , absolutely disgusting I will not be using them again and will ensure I write a review about this company everywhere I can !!!! Customer service is appalling!!!! Stay clear (read more)

“Horrible robbing untrustworthy”
Written on: 12/01/2013
I am a student and shortly before Christmas I had decided to take a short loan with Wonga as at the time this seemed the quickest and easiest option. Got the loan and no problem up until I tried to repay the balance early. I chose this early repayment option and everything seemed fine and my account status was £0 owing thus there was nothing else I could do on that page. However, on the agreed payment date I received a message telling me to pay or I will be charged £25. Which was bizarre... (read more)

I had been a regular customer of wonga for over a year, always paying on or before time. I had found their system and service swift and useful until.... On 12th Dec 2012 I took out a £500 loan to cover bills and christmas. The date agreed to pay back was Jan 7th 2013. On the 19th Dec, one week later I noticed that £96.58 had been taken back by wonga - straight from my account. I had neither made, planned for or given authorisation for this payment to be made! After calling their "help"... (read more)

Nmonkey's Response to wongaworm's Review

This is a new feature to Wonga since they were told to change their ways. What is good about it is people who have lent too much can pay it back in installments but it will effect your credit rating, because it means you defaulted on your loan.
In the past they continued to take funds randomly until the amount was paid. This feature came in over the last couple of months.
