    Delete33 - No, I didn't, and they were actually by far the best company to deal with in terms of customer service.

    Does anyone know how long it might take for Wonga to respond? - just curious.

    Well mixed success for me.


    Mr Lender point blank refused me, that's now gone to FOS.


    Although not too impressed with how FOS have handled things, there now Fastracking PDL complaints, couple of weeks rather than months, apparently if you repaid everything it doesn't look like you were in hardship, not as easy to prove as they make out.


    Cant do anything about Swift Sterling (Northway financial) as based in Malta.
    (gutted as had a LOT of loans with them in the past)


    Lending stream first offered £50, after paying more than £900 in interest I said no, came back with £300, which I have accepted as unsure if FOS would find in my favour or not.


    So mixed results, but at least I got something back from those dark old days !!

    This shows how easy it is to reclaim interest and charges from unaffordable Payday loans, a simple e-mail could get you a cash refund so give it a try and I hope you are successful.
