Wonga repayments

Hi All,

I'm actually on her for a friend, sounds like I'm at the doctor's I know but they don't have access to the internet and I don't know what to suggest as I'm not prepared to foot the bill again!

They are in debt with Wonga and the Wonga company are putting a charge of £25 everytime they try and take money out that isn't there so the debt keeps getting bigger.

He had agreed a payment plan and then didn't stick to it. He's spoken with them but as the plan has been agreed they won't do anything.

I think it's around £500 now but getting bigger all the time. He's not eligible for credit cards or loans due to his very bad credit rating. Is there anything he could do????

Thanks

    If you put wonga into the search bar at the top (search MSE) then you should find some useful info on it there.
