Urgent Help Please!

Hi Everyone,

Newbie here. Just joined as I have decided it is time to sort my life & my finances out.

BUT

I have an urgent matter I need help on. And I know I was stupid for even getting one in the first place but its in relation to the dreaded Wonga.

I have been getting Payday loans month in month out for the past year slowly increasing with different companies. So I got to the stage where I was getting more PDL's to payback the ones I owed. Anyway I got paid on friday yes only 2 days ago. Basically I have used all my pay packet to clear in full all my PDL's apart from one I have with Wonga. I intended to get another to pay or at least extend Wonga like normal but I am now being declined by them all. So Wonga is due tomorrow and I cannot pay so I am thinking its going to be defaulted and I will have to try and sort out a repayment structure from I have been reading on peoples posts on here.

So I am asking very kindly if anyone could provide me with some kind of sample or example email I should send to Wonga to go about setting up a repayment plan and getting them to freeze the interest.

I am so scared and not been able to sleep.

ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

Current Standing
The initial loan: £1084.00
Current Interest: £323.36
Transmission fee: £11.00

    What led you to get the pay day loans ?
    Was it a 1 off problem or a reoccuring 1 ?
    If its a case of spending more than what you earn then cut down on your bills.

    Id write to them and ask any contact to be made in writing so you have proof of it.

    I second posting an SOA on the dfw board.
  • I have a gambling addiction which I am addressing and have not gambled in a good few months. :) So thats a positive.
