https://news.sky.com/story/wonga-on-...eluge-11482720

Just reported on SkyNewsHD

Wonga soon to be bankrupt

comes three weeks after Sky News revealed that the company
had received an emergency £10m cash injection to keep it afloat.]

High Interest Rates on Loans

https://e3.365dm.com/18/08/750x563/s...20180804122752
Demo back in 2014

(loans made before new rules were introduced in 2014 had triggered a big rise in compensation payouts.)

Its a start, there are companies just as exploitative out there charging 4000%+ interest.... time to tackle those now.

Yes that is wrong.


From all reports they are saying Admin
will carry on taking the cash

arista 30-08-2018 11:46 AM

Wonga has now stopped
giving any loans.

Protip/ you can "payday borrow" from yourself for a week using PayPal, and it's interest free. These Wonga "legitimised loanshark" type things are surely majorly outdated, I feel...
