    Wonga were a pain in the backside to deal with when I got into trouble.

    Just a thought, but is there any chance of offering them a full and final settlement to get them off your back?

    My balance with Wonga is £798, got them to accept 50% of that to settle the account!

    £630 I have with them outstanding. I just don't have £315 to give to them unfortunately. Down the line though, couple of debts are to be finished by July/August and I could save a pot for them. Also when I take up a few of the challenges on here (sealed pot challenge etc..) it will definitely help. It's a fantastic forum here BTW! :T
