Default PayDay Lending firm WONGA is now in Administration
https://news.sky.com/story/wonga-on-...eluge-11482720

Just reported on SkyNewsHD
from Mark Kleinman, City editor


Wonga soon to be bankrupt

[Wonga's decision to explore the appointment of administrators
comes three weeks after Sky News revealed that the company
had received an emergency £10m cash injection to keep it afloat.]

Yes it takes time
well done.

Wonga rip folks off,
Some wonder if Admin
will still force the cash to come in.

High Interest Rates on Loans


Demo back in 2014

(loans made before new rules were introduced in 2014 had triggered a big rise in compensation payouts.)

Good, I hate these sort of businesses. Just pure exploitation.

Protip/ you can "payday borrow" from yourself for a week using PayPal, and it's interest free. These Wonga "legitimised loanshark" type things are surely majorly outdated, I feel...
