INCORRECT LISTING ON ITC

As a regular customer of Wonga I'm shocked to find out that I have been listed on ITC for late payments (which occurred during COVID lockdown) and this after I had made the arrangements and informed Wonga that payment will be late due to measure employer had put in place.

I contacted Wonga collection a week ago and they indicated that I must mail customercare and they will attend.

till date NO response at all. No reply at all. And confirmed now on clearscore that it is still reflecting.

To my understanding that NO listing must have taken place during lockdown., is it not? And this is AFTER I had made the arrangements? Maybe I should take this further

I will report this but Wonga, please sort out this mess.

Good day

Thank you for the reply and actions taken, but it still does not answer the question on WHY it was listed as "missed payments" when it was paid?

Now a waiting game needs to pass to see if actions was taken or not

Hi Shawn,

The updates are out of our control as the credit bureaus manages all updates.

We have however marked your Query as Urgent and awaiting a response from the 

credit bureaus. We have escalated your account to the relevant department 

to investigate what transpired on your account.

Kind Regards

WELL DONE WONGA.

You got the payments. Even though it was not on the date indicated on system but later and after all the trouble I went through to inform of the salary date changes and which was out of my hands, I still listed as missed payments. WELL DONE.

How long will this take to resolve? 3 years (timeframe it reflects on credit report)?

Please those reading this and find themselves in the same struggle to please place a comment. Maybe we all need to stand together and take action. The days that we as consumers are FALSELY abused is of the past
