Your contribution on BBC Victoria Live was excellent. Sure we all like to be nicely polished and 100% cool and objective in public, but you are a champion to millions, so it was an absolute pleasure to see you all over the hapless enemy, cutting deep and thrusting as good as Brad Pitt in Troy, mate!
You know when you've been Wonga'd.
I hear that they are now preying on small businesses as well...............parasites!
Time to shut these usury sharks down and all the other pay day lenders, that feed off of the poorest in society.
Why hasn't there been an interest rate cap on these vermin?
Not Buying it 2015!
People just look straight for the apr, when these figures are really more aimed at longer term loans.
I sometimes feel like I'm abnormal that I'm not morally outraged by these companies.
If I call the Holiday Inn and ask how much a room is, they don't say £31,000, they tell me £85 for one night, not the whole year.
There was a mixture of quote marks for quotes. Can you be consistent and only use double quotes for things people said ie:
admitted it has made "serious mistakes". is correct
'hard-working dinner ladies and mums' not so much.
I would probably just embolden the things you have put in single quotes.
Wonga filled a void in the market. My only hope is people become financially educated as without this. The problem will simply roll on and on.
If sunny advertise every other hour on the radio, urgh they all should be allowed
How does repay possible over 10 months (with any interest saved loaded back on! but the moment that happened it made me want to get rid and then angry seeing selected comments where there seems to be some selective choosing going on as to which customer is charged what so it hasn't improved! I was naive) when lender decides to decline, constitute good short term lending and the "this product isn't suitable for short term use" payday loans probably messed with people's heads far less actually now thinking about it
Wonga seems to have dropped their prices anyhow so we can thank sunny and their ilk for one thing alone, but I can't imagine who'll they serve now - those undercover journo's need to come back!!
