Nope, you did, they are a bunch of blood-sucking evil money-lenders... Extraordinarily they claim to be into "responsible lending": Aye, right: The only responsible bit is caring about their shareholders.
2689% should be illegal but, bizarrely, ain't...0 -

I also think all branches of Harvey Nichols should be shut down instantly in case a poor benefit claimant accidentally spends all of their JSA on a wallet.0 -

the interest rate is an apr, apr's don't really work for one month cash advances but the law requires all lenders to quote what the anual rate would be.
as far as loans go they are pretty straight forward, you lend x you repay x on your next payday
but as for being responsible lenders,well they are certainly not that but i don't see a problem with them, if used responsibly they could probably really help alot of people out from time to time......."A wise man once told me don't argue with fools because people from a distance can't tell who is who"........0 -
I used them recently when I bought a van. I paid £100 more for the van than I had budgeted for, which left my bank account with very little in it. It was going to take a week to transfer savings in, so I went through Quidco and had £200 off wonga for a fortnight, cost me !!!!!! all with the cashback.
Edit: Why is 'bugg3r' picked up by the swear filters? I doubt Ofcom would raise an eyebrow if it was said on daytime TV!0 -
