    Haras - it depends on each individual on what they choose to do. But money is the root of all evil and can imagine that some people who are desperate for one reason or another will go to lengths to sort out whatever needs to be sorted.

    I think asking for what I got the loan for has !!!!!! all to do with any of you as I said previously this forum is for people to provide advice. Not judge & be opinionated. I couldn't give a flying toss what your opinions are of me so I won't be feeding into your sad life's of trolling forums.

    The weather is dry today, why don't you go out and enjoy it. Ta Ra.


    This is a public forum. If you went out in the street and asked the same question, you'd get the same answers.

    It was a pretty stupid question in the first place to be honest.

    Before people judge on why they get payday loans when they do it is usually because they are desperate for one reason or another.

    Well, generally they are desperate as they simply can't be bothered to look after their finances properly, desperate because they blew their money on things that they did not need, or desperate because they lack any semblance of patience or ability to forego pleasure.

    If you think that money is the root of all evil, by the way, you probably ought not to go out and borrow it at such ridiculous rates of interest, and it's a b it inconsistent that you want to try to get some of it back.

    Live within your means in future, and you'll go far.

    When the papers have stated that 'refunds' will be made, I don't think its a stupid question at all. I didn't go out into the street though did I? I came to a forum for advice, not trolling idiots with nothing better to do than insult and judge people for their life choices. You telling me you've had a perfect life so far with no difficulties or obstacles to overcome? I think not.

    Or desperate because a family member has been taken seriously ill, or died. Not all money borrowed is because people want to go out on a jolly night out or a luxurious holiday. Again, in life people should be less presumptuous and judgmental.

    Whose to say I haven't already gone far...? You know zero about me or my current circumstances.

    and if the likes of wonga hadn't put up the money in that situation then what would they have done...

    If money is the root of all evil, probably best to give yours to the people at Wonga so you don't have to worry about it.
