    Ok so it is looking even worse... Wonga have already added their interest and want double what you originally borrowed...
    You need to pay this off asap.... I think it is time to speak to your parents and ask them to bail you out because that debt is just going to grow and grow

    Once you have wonga paid off then you will have spare money to throw at the other debts.... but you need to get that paid now.

    I agree! Yes they may be shocked etc but you will get into a neverending spiral here x

  • Why would you set up a payment plan with wonga at 3000% interest. ??? although is that really how much they charge!!! am astounded.

    Set up an overdraft on your bank account for say £500 and pay it off and get rid. A lot cheaper to have an overdraft interest rate than that wonga hanging over your head...

    Myself personally would rather the unauthorised overdraft fee than paying that interest.

    Because if you are in arrears with wonga.

    Say you originally took out 200 and now owe 500, they will accept 20 a month for 25 month and freeze your charges.

    the interest will stop
  • I think your correct! Im going to ring them soon and speak to them and see what i can do! think offering them £45 a month isnt to bad?

    So you offer one creditor 45 a month.

    then just default on the others?

    :(:(:(

    ive thought about it... im going to offer wonga £50 a month and pay my other creidits the minimum payments which ill setup with them aswell... once my insurance goes down in october i can double what i pay to Wonga and get that paid off! how does that sound?

    If you dont mind me asking, you said you only had 45 a month, now you have £50 plus other minimum paymnets!

    thats the best part of 100 a month

    Is it also the case that your car insurance is 200 a month? 2400 a year?
  • You SOA still shows you having 300 a month left over

    Ask your parents to withhold the rent for a few months

    that is 400 a month.

    You would easily be debt free in a year
