Well thank you all for your constructive criticism, sarcasm and general berating. I am so happy that you all have ample supplies of money so you dont get so desperate to survive till payday that you end up on portal sites to companies like the one i described. if you would like to go and share your dry wit and wagging fingers with a host of other people who got caught like me, go onto other helpsites and knock ya selves out. I posted my story to try and advise others on how to sort it out quickly. kinda wish I hadnt bothered, but if it helps a couple of people out it was worth reading through your remarks.0

They are harmless on here really, it's just when people come on here telling how they put their card details into various random websites then got hit with charges they don't show much sympathy.
Hope you get it sorted (...plus hope England stuff your lot in the 6 Nations)

So do tell me how it was unauthorised broker payment when you gave up your card details ?Sorry but i know better to not give anyone my card details expecially a loan broker site. If your salary wont last a month then it should give you a wake up call that your living beyond your means.0 -
I last got paid on 21st dec, not due till end of this month, my dog had a serious op to prevent his death on the 6th jan and still needs anti biotics, and all this white stuff around the country is pretty damn cold so my gas meter is feasting on money I guess i should be saving but wait, the electric meters hungry too, so is the car that takes me to work (yes work, not sat on my !!!! watching jezza and waiting for a giro) and just every so often I need to buy dinner at work to prevent me passing out. Thanks to cash convertors i got to work and kept my job, and thanks to my bank for refunding my money from these sites that are obviously known to trade like this otherwise their claim on my money would not have been reversed. Hang on, I ve got it, if i am living beyond my means, i will f&*k my job off, get knocked up by some guy and in 9 months live off your hard earned wages, then when i do dare have a opinion on something, then you can tell me your thoughts, otherwise......guess!0

Sounds like you were never going to be a position to pay your normal monthly outgoings AND repay a loan on top of that lot anyway.
Seems a good thing you had this wobble but managed to get your own money back.
I hope you have learnt a lesson after this, you can't get a loan.0 -
And how did you plan on paying that loan back? Everyone does all the things you described there - go to work, pay bills, food - everyone does that. It's about doing it within your means.
You don't get a cookie for not getting knocked up and claiming benefits.0 -
Considering how much Wonga advertises I am surprised that the OP had to trawl the Internet. I wonder if you were turned down by the big PDL companies? If so- then you won't get a PDL.0

I hit the skids by saving my dog, and was trying to bridge the gap till the 31st. come payday its kaching time because i actually have a good job and i will be fine and would have been able to pay a payday loan off. its just such a long time between paydates cause of xmas. Theres lot of people struggling, and dont think i wasnt mortified, angry, upset and feeling very ashamed at what went onfor me, and I posted to help others, not to get the barrage of sly remarks. but thank you to those who have been not so tough on me.0
