    hi,
    they set up a payment plan for me for 100 pounds a month..i paid the 1st with n probs but ive been ill for 3 months with something called trigeminal neuralgia[severe facial nerve pain]and i havnt been able to work for 3 months..literally in agony,finally its been diagnosed and am on heavy duty anticonvulsants drugs which help to deaden the nerves..they have to be phased slowley so by monday i should be on the higher dose and hoping to be back to work by next thursday..anyway i emailed wonga and told them this and that i was having a real problem and that i could send them neurolgy letters etc to show them im genuine..i offered them 50 pound a month for the next 2 months and then to carry on with 100 a month from may onwards until the debt is paid..i told them them that my pay will be tiny as ive used all my sick up with this awful disorder as i tried to go to work with it in january but the pain was so awful.
    will see what they come back with.havnt heardanything yet.
    onyablue how did you get on..they were very accomadating when i first set the payment up.

    That's normal, they make you default before agreeing (or not depending on what you send as your incoming/outgoing expenditure) a payment plan.
    That way it's a true reflection of what's happened.
