Hi all, newbie to the forum here.
I had a Wonga loan (I know, I know) taken out in 2019. I defaulted on it but now with the company no longer existing, how do I pay it back? It is being reported still on my credit report as a default every month.
Wonga's site doesn't help
Thanks in advanced for any replies.

As of 2019, Wonga`s administrators were looking at the possible sale of their loans books, to date I don`t know if this has yet happened.
They were initially trying to recover funds by offering large discounts to customers who had defaulted.
Debt Camel covers it here -

DebtCamel says that people can now get any Wonga debts "suppressed" from their credit record. Weird? See https://debtcamel.co.uk/correct-credit-records-lender-administration/1
