Handed over after 1 month in arrears

Wonga handed me over after missing 1 month payment I got a short term loan from Wonga and unfortunately I missed a month and I was handed over to the attorneys. I made arrangements to make payment and I was shocked to receive a call from debt collectors. Legally it can’t be acceptable handing an account over for skipping a month. I’m escalating this via this platform to get you guys to reverse the debt collectors fee on my account as I settled the outstanding balance on the account on Friday and suddenly there’s an additional fee outstanding which I believe isn’t ethical.

Please note if my account and outstanding balance isn’t corrected soon i intend on escalating this to the ombudsman as this can’t be ethical and is definitely contravening the NCA.

Good Day, it’s over 5 days since I’ve logged my query and there’s still no feedback from you guys or any adjustments on the outstanding balance.

Please advise on a resolution.

Hi Pertunia,

Thanks for your patience while we checked your account balance. We can confirm you don't have an outstanding balance with Wonga.

Our collections are only done by our external debt collections agency. 
Once you miss a payment and account falls behind, we will hand your account over to them so they may assist with helping you set a repayment arrangement to suit your current financial needs. 
 
Please remember that when your loan is not paid on time, there will be fees and interest added to your balance,

We hope to be of service again
Kind regards,The Wonga Team******
