Hi Guy's

I currently have a wonga rating of about £1400 but I am about to move house shortly will this affect the amount they can offer me from now on?

Thank You
Mick

    Well I guess that makes change from posters talking about a credit rating of 950 or whatever (meaningless of course).

    Wow, a wonga rating of 1400!! :j
    You must be very proud....

    With greatest respect, shouldn't the more important question be "how can I realign my finances and save myself sh*tloads of money by choosing not to using Wonga again?"?

    I don't know the answer to your question.

    I'm more worried about the reasons you feel the need to ask it ...

    I have a Sponga rating of eleventy sleven and this remained ok when I moved to Pluto....communting from Pluto was cheaper than paying interest to these sharks.

    Don't remember what question you asked, but interesting fact for you... the annual interest on a £1400 wonga loan is around £5500!

    Think what you could do with that
