I put in my complaint to wonga 2 weeks ago. I’ve not heard anything back at all. Their website says I will receive a response acknowledging my complaint within 5 days?
Anyone else had this experience?0 -

You must remember these payday loan companies are currently the subject of a massive re-claiming frenzy, an unprecedented amount of complaints are been received every day about unafordable lending.
Currently they are wading through these as quickly as they can, as said above, they have 8 weeks in which to provide you with a final answer, you may have to wait longer than that.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

Currently, I'm a slave of payday loans. I'm still not sure when I will get through this but I hope soon. it's such a burden. Imagine paying your salary to these loans instead of enjoying it.0

Wonga is virtually on the brink of insolvency at present.
It has just received another 10 million pound injection of cash from its backers.
This is mostly due to the massive reclaiming program currently underway.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

The people with ongoing complaints would become potential creditors of Wonga.
If the complaints had been upheld, they would take there turn in line as the companies assets were sold and divided between the creditors.
Complaints that remained unheard would stay that way, with no further action taken.
