  • and just to carry on my self righteous attitude..it is Amen not Ahmen :rotfl:

    I don't think I sounded at all self righteous (and I would have a job seeing as I am being repo'd in 2 weeks) but the truth is that it is no longer the OP's money and that they borrowed on a short term basis without the ability to pay it back.
    Being fluffy and cute is not going to help..The money belongs to Wonga and given half a chance they will take it.
    I would suggest that the OP talks to the CCCS or something like that for more long term help and advice.



    Agree with you also, And sorry. Amen ;)

    Next time you need some cash OP, just rob a bank....

    Risks are slightly higher though.

    I think that it is absolutely outrageous that people who loan money to other people should expect to get it back. Hang on, no, that's what a lot of people who come on this forum owing money seem to think!
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Hello,

    I am currently working for BBC Inside Out North West, and we're currently researching pay-day loan companies.

    We would like to speak to people who have had bad experiences with pay-day loans. If this applies to you, and would be willing to talk to us and possibly be in the programme, contact me at:

    [EMAIL="Kenny.Lomas@bbc.co.uk"]Kenny.Lomas@bbc.co.uk[/EMAIL]

    Regards,
    Kenny Lomas

    I think its mostly a case of Payday loan companies having bad experiences with their clients.
