    People shouldnt have to resort to such tactics. Ideally.

    Of course not. But I've done it and I expect plenty of others have too.

    OP, if you expect to get your money back from Wonga - you need to fight them harder than that!

    Your only hope is that, as it's benefit money they may have to return it (?), but I don't know the legal standpoint.

    Might be worth getting in touch with FOS (others have tried this I know).

    Also try Wonga again, insist on speaking to someone senior, and keep trying.

    I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok - they know me here! :D

    hmmm i dont think sweetly asking my family will happen havnt spoken to them in 8 years have friends but none that will lend me money. I need money because i have from today 14 days to feed, and buy tobacco for myself its my benefits and now my bank is empty
    The £200 was Wonga's money was it not?

    You won't get anywhere with them saying its benefits money.

    Why not knock on a few neighbours' doors and see if they want their windows or cars washed?

    stop smoking, if its a matter of smoking or no food for two weeks, it will be easier to quit than you think

    aside of that I agree with wrangler5
