    Your numbers don't look right. Minimum wage of £6.31 per hour, for 40 hours a week, is about £1,100 per month before tax, which is £970 after. On 50 hours that's £1,150 after tax.

    If you are getting less net pay, it looks like you are doing fewer hours.

    Can you increase the hours you work, even if just for a couple of months to get you back on track?

    What about going to someone like Wizzcash, rather than Wonga? You can pay back the loan in 3 instalments rather than in a lump sum and they do work out cheaper than Wonga.

    Better still, how about approaching your local credit union? You can join a credit union, even if you can only afford to save a£1 a month initially. http://www.theguardian.com/money/2012/nov/02/credit-unions-payday-loans

    I don't doubt it. It's taken you a year to drag this old thread up. You must be completely knackered.

    But have a spam click for your troubles.

    Sucks man! Payday loans are such a pain, I would advise them that you are having money problems and enter into a debt management plan.
