Has anyone tried Wonga?

fairystarlet

I just tried to register on there and it said I had to fill in all my details before so they could do a credit check. I filled them all in and pressed submit and it said that I couldn't access the next page because it was restricted.

Has anyone else tried to sign up to wonga and received a message saying its been restricted to them?

Yep, you've had a lucky escape there so count yourself lucky that either you PC or their website threw a wobbly.

I only try things that are generally sweet - I am very sure wonga ( sounding like Chinese food) will leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I only wanted to try it because don't like asking people I know to borrow money from them and knew I could pay it back within a week, so didn't think it would be too bad!

But obvisouly they don't want my custom and as said before, I should think of it as a lucky escape lol

Some people really do slag of these payday loan websites. In most cases if you pay back they money as requested there isnt a problem, except for the interest rate! It seems that these payday loan companies are being used by people who are already in financial difficulties and are just falling into another potential trap.

The fact is payday loans never solve the problem it only moves your financial problem further ahead - Similar to a time bomb. The real way to tackle this issue is to admit one has a problem handling money and make the necessary adjustments like - seriously cutting back and try to increase ones earnings or whatever to balance up.

Loans in generally reduces one's future earnings talk less of Payday loans with APR such as 5000%

Don't go near payday loan companies.

I, very stupidly, made mistake of this, got myself into a proper mess, five in total all of around £750-£1000, took me two years of totally poverty and complete destruction of any credit rating I had to get free of them.

Please please do not do it!!!!!!!

Go without whatever you want to buy, go out less, smaller portions at tea time, turn the heating down abit, anything but take these things!!!
