I don't really agree to be honest. Never used them, but I'm sure I've seen it and you input how much you want, and on what day you can pay them back, and they tell you the amount. Anyone who then entered into that knowing they probably wouldn't be able to pay it is an idiot.

Nice attitude
the only people who would use Wonga are those who can’t afford to borrow elsewhere, they prey on the desperate. If I want to borrow money I’d go to the bank and get a loan at 3% interest, I can borrow money cheaply. Some can’t, because the system favours those who have a robust credit history. The irony is that those that can’t afford to borrow are subjected to eye watering APR interest rates, that include severe penalties for default. This means that a small loan taken out when desperate can spiral out of control.If you equate desperation to idiocy then maybe you should try & develop a little compassion?

I'm just saying it's there in black and white, you can see it's only going to make things worse. I do see where you're coming from, people may not be thinking straight if they owe a lot of money already and are panicking. But I don't think it's fair to squarely blame the company themselves, when they do make it clear how much you'll be paying - it's not hidden in smallprint. And they must have helped a considerable amount of people as well who could afford the repayments and who couldn't borrow money from anywhere else.Nice attitude

Once 'loan sharks' have got you in their grasp they ensure it's damn nigh impossible to escape...
Just because they operate under a catchy name doesn't make them any less odious than the tally men of old...

There is a reason why it is called a spiral of debt. Firms like Wonga accelerate that spiral to a rate that soons becomes out of control.

That’s they key. They want you to default so they can really make some cash, borrow a small amount, miss a payment and face a bill for multiple times what you borrow. Some borrowers may be uninformed but some will be distressed and that clouds decision making. They should be protected by legislation IMO, they are now & isn’t that why Wonga have failed? As soon as apr was capped they struggled. It’s a business model trading on misery imo

Massive great big spiders. Especially when they escape, and are lose in the house. Mog2 nearly had it, but let it go to play with a bit longer. Live man eating spiders. Ugg.

Trying to find a Smartphone smaller than the profile of a house-brick!
Whats wrong with having a phone that's 11 or 12cm, why does it need to be 15-20cm!

The incompetence of some organisations.
The Boy enrolled at college for his 2nd year yesterday. He knew the date he was supposed to be there to enroll and, as he hadn't received information to the contrary, assumed he could rock up virtually at any time during the normal hours - he'd planned to go in around 10/10.30
At 9.45 yesterday, literally as he was walking out of the door, the postie delivers a letter informing him that he has an enrollment appointment at 9.45 on 3/9...Funnily enough he was late and had to wait an extra hour for a free slot.
Local council has changed all the bin collection days..
This would have meant our garden waste bin wouldn't have been emptied for 3 weeks - not really a huge issue for me but...
So they sent out a letter to everyone, several thousand pounds worth of letter, informing us that due to the change we would get an extra garden collection on 3/9 so put your bins out by 6.30 that day.
Mine went out at 7pm the night before and is still there, untouched. Did they forget to tell the bin collected that they had more work..?
Irrigating!!

having an untaxed car dumped outside my house for nearly a month and the local council have done nothing about it apart from say that they cant determine the tax status eventhough I sent them a screen shot from the DVLA website saying the car was untaxed.
Also, the DVLA have been told about the untaxed car but have done nothing yet when I moved house I forgot to tell them the new address for the tax reminder and they clamped my car the day after the tax expired!

Mercedes web site. It is rubbish. If there is an archive for info/manuals for obsolete models, say 2015, I can't find it. I don't want, and cannot afford a new one, but finding out stuff about an older model should be easy as. It isn't.

As they hadn't set up the online system for reporting missed bins with the extra collection I couldn't inform them via that method.
So I sent a tweet.
Got a reply asking me to DM my address and they would sort the issue.
Bin lorry came at 1pm on Tuesday
At 12.30 today I got a message from the council thanking me for the information and that it had been "logged with the Recycling and Waste team who are working to resolve the issue"
The issue that was resolved 24 hours earlier........
How much do I pay for this incompetence..?

I got a letter from AVDC advising that bin collection days were changing. In my case, the new collection day is Friday....it's been Friday for as long as I've lived at this address (15 years!)

You're completely wrong. Your way is much slower and uses less of the available road, causing queues to back up.

What, so an interrupted flow is actually faster than a constant flow! Well every day's a school day

So are you saying go down the outside to the front of the queue then expect to be let in? Or join the back of the queue and wait your turn?
