Hi,

I too have got into the payday loan cycle & felt I had to do something about it. I had prepared, changed bank accounts, cancelled the CPA and then wrote to the company's - there are 7 of them, I am soooo cross with myself.

Anyway Wonga is one of them, I actually wrote to Wonga on 21st December explaining my financial circumstances, I had an automated response and I know it's been the Christmas period but I had to remind them yesterday by forwarding an email I'd already sent that I hadn't had a reply,

I had also sent them an income & expenditure sheet showing that I could repay them £90.00 per month. I've had a reply today saying they want £120! I don't have that & it shows on the I&E sheet, have written back stating that. Do they take notice of this??!

I wrote to debtmanagement@wonga.com
That's the email address I feel I've had the quickest response from.

By the way the other 6 PDL companies have been fine & agreed to my repayment plan, although I have had a really difficult time with Swift Sterling who have threatened to pass into an external debt collected who they say may come to my work establishment or home. I'm not so bothered about home but work! Can they do that?

I know I've been stupid & I will pay every penny back but they have scared me - any advice please?

Thanks

I have emailed several emails today which I found by googling. Reply to their email and tell them you cannot afford £120 and you stand by your offer. I emailed:

Customercare@wonga.com
Collections@wonga.com
Erroldamelin@wonga.com - he's the top dog

Also copy in who you've already emailed. Make sure you ask them to freeze the charges. Ill keep you updated with my progress.
