I died by the double debit!!!

By far the worst experience I set up a direct debit to settle the full amount, the payment just went off and a second payment went off again I nearly collapsed as I am typing my heart is racing literally WONGA took 5913.00 mind you I have have other debit orders that will bounce my life cover my medical Aid like *** please respond to my emails please do a reversal like this cant be happening why take an installment amount when you clearly see that i have approved the mandate for the Direct debit of the full amount to go off ????

Hi Zanele, 

We have reviewed what has transpired on your account and can confirm

that we have only received one payment, which has already been allocated. 

Could you kindly forward a copy of your bank statement in order for your account

to be escalated to our finance team for the second payment to be allocated and the account to be updated. 

Once both payments are reflecting, we will gladly assist you with a refund. 

Please forward your bank statement to ***.

Thank you for your patience.

Poor communication by far i sent bank statements the entire week but none are found I sent a bank statement to a complaints lady named Tougeedah Kamaldien shes advising she hasn't received it I am out of pocket I am literally in a minus while running around like a headless chicken wanting answers I was advised its in my best interest to communicate via email With this agent but my matter is concerning there's no sense of emergency I told you Wonga and Tougeedah Kamaldien that I am broke a simple sorry wont get me out of what you have done I am reaching out to this portal and seeking assistance as this matter could easily send me to an early grave .
I really am seeking compensation as Wonga is taking me for a Joke like I mean its your fault for having systems that dont update I checked my credit profile a default has been added like adding salt to injury I want my money NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received a call from IDA advising no communication was made therefore they necessary amendments were not made. The agent advised me that they will send the update to you advising you to remove the debt and default as this was no fault of mine so i am failing to understand what has been done by yourselves as wonga as my case was never escalated i did the work myself to get some result I really feel let down cause you reassured me
