Wonga...finally On Its Way Out ?
http://
Regulars on here will already know my opinions on this dreadful company but they do appear to be on the way out, at last. This is a company that charges eye-watering high rates of interest and it also thinks that its the done thing to advertise on the TV during breaks in childrens programs.
( I wonder if that is the reason that they chose such childish adverts ? )

I simply can't understand why the financial authorities haven't regulated this fraudulent and cynical loan shark company out of existence.

If they go I think it will be a happy day, but I would like to see a Govt scheme or locally run schemes along the lines of a co-operative or you'll just find the good old fashioned local loan sharks will take their place again. You just never heard about those very much.Never leave a vacuum.
So will you still be gloating when there is an increase to real loan sharks and limbs start getting broken?
The way they operated needed curtailing but there is little doubt they were a useful service to many who are simply not creditworthy.
So where will these people go now, are you going to lend them the dosh Mickey?
