NJ2 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Is there scope to get a loan from them just before they go bust, they die and I don’t have to pay them back? Shower of horrible fucks so it’d be sweet to be part of their demise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, you don't want to get involved with such companies. I actually applied to them last week as I needed money for booking flights and accommodation for the Pars game in Boreham Wood. Got rejected! Ended up getting a loan from another company and due to my massively shit credit rating it was one of the only ones who would lend to me, although obviously at a much worse rate. I am a fucking idiot. But I was skint and desperate. Will be paying the fucker off for a few months amd paying back almost double what I borrowed. I'm a fucking clown.

Being a Dunfermline fan you'd know more about that than me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I wasn't actually involved in the administration of the club. Anyway, it was 0p in the pound. Wonga have assets, i.e. their creditors (the folk they've lent to) so there would be no need for any sort of deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that any of them are good, but they're one of the least worst. They're pretty good to deal with and won't harass you and call your work phone for one. Still a horrible shower of shite mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APR is quite high. Often up to 1500%. However if you're borrowing over a week or two it's usually 'only' about £20 or so, obviously depending on how much you borrow. That's why so many of these companies have a minimum of at least £100. Wonga were almost the only one who's minimum was £10.
