When a Wonga loan is paid back using fraudulent information Wonga can involve the police but refuse to do so.
Pay a loan back using fraudulent information? What are you on about? |
|
By:
Criminal gets a loan. Criminal pays back loan using stolen details due to Wonga's slack procedures. Victim claims gets money back from bank. Bank claims money from Wonga. As Wonga are now the ulitimate victim the onus is on them to report the fraudster. They do not. Simple enough?

I don't think Wonga acted right here
but it disturbs me we use compensation to deal with this the only thing we are doing is creating a society of mendaciousness and greed , we all pay for this aside from those who grab compensation the net result will be people will have to pay higher interest and find it harder to get loans including pay day ones |
|
By:
I don't mind Wonga being fined for this
or people being paid back any extra expenses they incurred because of this, because that is fair but compensation, this harms us so much, we should dump it |

stewarty, now you're pretending that don't know the difference between a civil offence and a criminal offence.
How low can you sink into the quicksand you're in? Where is the pretending? I'm well aware about the difference between the two. Let me educate you. If a person who is charged with a criminal offence in the UK, that person can get as much legal aid as required. However, if a person is taken to court due to a civil matter, that person is only entitled to legal aid for advice only. That's a huge difference. But let's not let not go off the original topic. The bottom line is these 'companies' are nothing more than parasites, which I think you would agree with? |

By:
nothing more than parasites, you mean pay day loan companies
then where do you suggest people get money from if they need it, if they no security |
|

Oh dear god almighty, ebulGery has poked his nose in.
I will answer you only one time ebul.... then where do you suggest people get money from if they need it, if they no security It's simple. They don't get loans, just like back in the 50s and 60s. (unless they have anything to pawn...) |

 welcome back starvation |

By:
I will tell you exactly what people will do
they use the back street loan sharks people have to pay up, or they get things like their kneecaps broken |
|
By:
Actually pay day loans are not a bad idea
providing there is a maximum interest rate by law, and we ban unethical practices but their rates have to be fairly high, a considerable number of people never pay them back |
