No Compassion

I took a loan of R6000 from Wonga Loans on the 1st of Dec. The money was paid in only that evening. I got help from family and paid pack R5000 that same evening. The next day I paid another R1000 to cover the total loan amount. On the 3rd of Dec I contacted Wonga to find out what the outstanding interest is so that I can repay that too, only to find out that payments take 3 working days to reflect on their side. So after the 3 day period (weekend in between) I contacted Wonga again to get the outstanding interest amount. To my astonishment, they still charged me a full month's interest, even though I paid it all back. I had an outstanding amount of R869.08 due. I sent an email to their customer support centre on the 9th of Dec and up until today I have not had any reply back from them. I will never use them again and I will make sure that no one I know will ever use them. They have no regard for any human being, only themselves.

Hi  Alta,

We're so sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Should you have canceled the loan and repaid the full amount, (R6000) the same day,

all interest and fees would have been waived.

You repaid the loan amount in 2 separate payments and did not cancel the loan.

The interest and fees was added on to your loan amount and we can confirm

that your loan payments has updated and your account status reflects as 

closed and settled in full.

An update request has been sent to all credit bureaus to have your ITC profile updated.

Thank you for your patience.

The Wonga Team.
