    thanks all

    have had a look at wonga and have advised her against it. It all looks ok in theory but if she didnt pay on time it says they would transfer to a debt collection agency. Does that mean horrible people coming to the door? Sounds frightening to me!

    Well, since my loan with wonga is currently with a DCA (see previous comments) I feel I can comment on it a bit. They will write to you etc etc but it will all go on your credit file and defaults recorded etc etc.

    DCAs aren't that scary if you know how to deal with them, but it is all very very stressful.

    Quite right about advising against :beer:
    Proud of who, and what, I am. :female::male:
