The bank is required to deal with a disputed debit complaint from a customer. They don't have a choice. They can't just say because 'it's a pay day loan' sort it out yourself!0 -
Has anyone else been caught out today with Wonga taking out doube the repayment. Still waiting for money -£497 to be repaid and have little left in bank for weekend and not enough for DDs on Monday. Help!
The answer you need is given above.Speak to your bank sharpish....
Don't get in a situation that allows these sharks to run a continuous payment authority on your account for around a £1,000 without considering it needs paying back.
And before your start saying I am on a high horse as well, this year I have gone ten months only paying interest on my mortgage, living on ESA, had two operations and still had money left over to puss against the walll last night as well. And had no need to ever consider using such a facility. Oh, and the nice motor aw well at £229 a month!
Not what you wanted to hear, but!0 -

If the payment has been 'taken' today then it's probably a pending card payment which can't be disputed.DEBT FREE!

Further to my previous reposte on the subject, I was out last night, in town and was surprised as it was considerably fuller than usual. Still it passed me buy! at the time as to why, then it struck me. Pay day and the short terminus of people today. That is why last week it was quiet. Bo.psie remarked late about where she worked, that two colleagues complained just before a bank holiday, as when they were to be laid. Her boss said as normal, last working day of the month. They were shocked about this, three day weekend and no money until the following Wednesday, last day of the month!
Same here. As I mentioned. Bit of a hard year, but you only have one life. Still, I restart work in a couple of weeks. And this Friday I will be inn town again. Bet most of the others that were there last nigh, will be conspicuous by their absence.0 -
