    Morning everyone

    A small transfer of £4.25 for me today, making a new total of £20.95 (#98)

    This is such a great challenge:D
  • Up to £43.88 now for #47 :D

    It's slightly frustrating at the moment - with money being *really* tight, there is less movement on the accounts, so less odd amounts being created to transfer! Grrr!

    Hi wonga.com
    I have taken Sue-UU's warning and as she has done on the Sealed Pot I will add you once you have proven yourself to be genuine.
    If you are - then I will add you to our ever growing list, in the meantime all you need to do is set up a online savings account and read the details in post 1 of the thread.
    Thanks

    Hello Palema,
    Unfortunately, based on my name alone of wonga.com and not my activity I was barred from the site and given no way of proving myself. I sent an email trying to resolve the issue but was sent around from one email address to another with the final one giving no response. Sadly, I now feel this site is too cliquey and unfriendly to be a member of! Such a shame when the administrators panic blindly and exclude innocent members of the public but then take it on themselves to inform the whole site that I was removed for spamming - especially when there was absolutely no onerous activity from me, and never would have been!
    So there's no need to add me to any list, but thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt in any case!

    I wouldn't say we're unfriendly at all! The Debt-Free boards are one of the best :D

    The sad thing is that having your username as that of a well-known loan company will mean it's hard for folk to believe you're not affiliated to them. Let us get to know you using your new user name, we're not bad folk, honest :D

    Welcome back!

    Considering Martin's well known stance on the subject of these "payday loans" type companies, it seems a strange choice for a username in any case?! Unusual too for site admins to bar people just based on a username - that generally only happens when users have made complaints either about someone's conduct, or spamming etc. Glad to see you've re-joined anyway - I'm sure you'll soon realise that the DFW board in particular is far from Cliquey and unfriendly - it's often been described as the friendliest place on the boards so stick around and I'm sure you'll get plenty out of it! :D
