on now, watchdog said they're going to be talking about Wonga loans.

Where you've not had a loan but they clear your account anyway.

    The guy they had in from Wonga was well out of his depth! Stuttering and repeating the same things, was very amusing watching him squirm :D

    Anne trapped the Head of Marketing into agreeing to refund any victims of fraud that Wonga have collected money from their accounts along with interest at the same rate Wonga charge.

    Epic fail by their marketing guy, someone's gonna be in trouble with three pensioners tomorrow. Earls gonna give him a right bad boy going over.

    I think that man is for the sack, he clearly did not expect that question from Anne, but may have recovered himself just at the end.
    :) Been here for a long time and don't often post

    He said exactly the same amount that they lost, plus an extra payment.

    Lol I've just found this caption competition on wonga's twitter feed. The temptation to enter and refer to Darryl Bowman the ex Wonga marketing manager has over come me.

    Please do not copy me as I don't think Wonga or Darryl (Gerald Ratner) Bowman would appreciate it...
