Wonga Help.......Quick

Options
Hey guys,

I am in a big pickle here.

I owe Wonga.com

£1100 on Friday 29th April

I get paid tomorrow but i know for a fact it won't be able to cover it.

So what will happen ?

Wonga will try to take that amount but i know they can't then what ?

I won't be able to pay it off in the future i don't think as i am looking to go down the DRO route with CCCS.

Anybody help me out ehere ? give me some advice ?

    Call them! You must not stick your head in the sand. You maybe able to extend the loan with them to buy you some breathing space. Rule #1 Deal with it head on.

    Hi

    Open a new bank account not related to your existing provider and get your salary paid in there in future.

    You need to go for a new bank with an unconnected bank.

    If you open up a new barclays account then if the payday loan company takes your account overdrawn then barclays will just take money from new account to pay off unauthorised overdraft on old account.
