    If you want some money saving advice:
    have a fire sale of anything you can live without, this includes top range mobiles that can be replaced with working phones, laptops, home computers, hobby items.
    Sell the lot to what ever the second hand shop will pay.
    Pay the Wonga back and dont ever borrow in such circumstances again.
    Or you can, move bank accounts, extend and just dig the hole you are in even deeper.

  • thanks for all replies

    in my stressed state last night i didnt even notice the extend button going past this saturday i have now done that and the fees arent as bad as i thought

    vax i have already sold everything within reason as has my old man

    thanks for all help

    now need to get my dmp sorted again! does anybody have good template letter explaining i can only make a token payment this month?
  • i'm still struggling to understand why on earth you are getting into this state when there is no mention of what your brother is doing to help. Does he realises you are risking your own DMP etc to help him out and does he understand the stress he has placed you under now?

    why can't he pay this payday loan back instead of it falling to you to sell your items etc?
  • Has your brother contacted the illegal money lending team at his local trading standards?

    I dare say Big Ron is going to cath up with bro if you're down to borrowing from Songa to keep him at bay...my best advice? tell your brother to do a runner to the continent.
