eeding help paying off Wonga loan.
Comments

inform your parents - you do not want to be racking up huge interest bills for a relatively small amount if your parents can bail you out. admit financial mismanagement to them and arrange a reasonable term to repay them.0

Where has the money gone between 'the other day' and 'now'.. and without the saas or loan what would you have done?
What 'work' is it that you need the laptop for? is it a newer model - scope to say sell on and then buy down.0 -
Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies. I don't have much I can sell. I need my computer for work, and my parents will go nuts if they found out I am in debt
I don't mind too much right now freezing it, how would I go about doing that if I have to?
You contact them at the earliest , well moreover think it is something you can start on your online account with them
You fill in an income and expenditure form on there
7 days before your 'promise' date
Search on their website 'what if I can't pay my loan on time'0 -
I agree with asking your parents for help. If my daughter or son came to me in your circumstances I would have a bit of a rant, but I would want to help rather than have them get caught up in payday loans.I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.0

Where did the money go?
Time to sell stuff, or ask for help from parents. In the long term probably best to get your folks to help out, especially if they will give you some agro over it, as hopefully that will help you avoid wonga and their ilk in future.0 -
Yup, ask the folks to help you out of the mess and DO NOT even consider taking another loan out to pay WONGA off....
Your mum/dad may well go nuts but if they have the oney I'm sure they will help.
Maybe you can get a job in the summer holidays to pay them back and even put some cash aside for next year.... Remember as a student you dont have to pay income tax (I think).....0
