Once had a loan out

Once had a loan out, was fine. Closed my account. Find out this year they still have my details and have let fraudulent activity happen. Won’t close the case, won’t stop harassing me, won’t help me.

I am inheriting over a million in British Pounds!

I am inheriting over a million in British Pounds from my cousin on my departed Mothers side. I have to pay 1220.00 pounds in order to release this money. I have been instructed by my very ill Cousin, Robert W. Peters, to put the majority of this money to help the unfortunate, with 10% which is mine to inherit for follow his dying wishes. Thank you for helping me to do this! I will be happy to forward an email from his bank to prove this. Please let me know when my loan is approved. Best Regards, Maureen(Maury) Rainbird

Quick easy and cheap way to borrow…

Quick easy and cheap way to borrow money when you are stuck... What do we do now?... These so called "nice lenders" eg the banks won't even let me go 20p overdrawn after paying my wages into them for the past ten years. Whoever contributed to wonga going down you just screwed me from my last lifeline... Thanks alot idiots.

I cant say I have had a terrible time…

I cant say I have had a terrible time with Wonga, I needed money and they sorted me with little fuss.
The biggest complaint I have is on the one occasion that I needed to change my payment date by 1 week.
Even though I called and emailed them to ask for the change, they still called me every day, leaving messages to call them. So I called to be told, that they are aware I had asked the date to be changed.

Because this happened daily, I ended up borrowing the money from a friend on the 3rd day as I couldn't put up with the harassment anymore.
