    This is what it says on their website:

    Do I still need to repay my loan?

    As the operations of the business have been wound down it is no longer able to accept payments.

    What will happen if I haven’t repaid my loan?

    In the event that you were unable to repay your loan by 20 December 2019 we cannot issue statutory notices and your credit file will continue to reflect your outstanding loan as being in default.


    Can I take out a new loan or add additional funds to my existing loan?

    The Joint Administrators are unable to provide further lending from the date of the administration appointment.


    I need to talk to someone about my loan or I have a question which is not answered here

    Please check the FAQs section of the website at: https://www.wonga.com/help and if your question is not covered, please contact Customer Care on 0207 138 8330.

    It depends what happens to Wonga`s assets, the loans book will have been sold, most likely, although how many of these accounts will be chased i do not know, many of wonga`s clients will have had cause to complain about affordability issues, so at present its a game of wait and see who contacts you.

    Six years after default the debt will disappear from her file, and eventually become statute barred if no contact is forthcoming.
