    Sorry but you can't hold the company responsible for knowing their market and their punters can you? :rotfl:

    Still seems like a good deal to me, 8 squillion APR so people can waste a few hundred quid over Chrimble.

    NOTHING has changed. It cost around £6 to borrow £20 for 5 days last week and it costs the same this week. If you borrow that £20 over 30 days (which is the default) THEN it costs around £13.

    If you're going to make sensationalist claims like this, then you need to at least do a like-for-like comparison.

    P.S. You should really change the thread title:
    Wonga.com (Beware Check the interest) its doubled...

    It's completely inaccurate and Wonga may take a dislike to you creating a thread with this title!
