No respect for customer

I have reviewed Wonga on April 30th, demanding answers on a settled loan wrongly handed to the Nimble Group for collections. Despite repeated follow-ups, Wonga has failed to respond or acknowledge my concerns.

My settlement letter was removed, and collection fees were added months after the loan was closed, harming my credit profile. Wonga refuses to provide answers and redirects me to Nimble without accountability.

Thanks for the response, it's been 4 months now trying to get Wonga to take responsibility and investigate my issue. Please provide an estimated resolution time for issues similar to mine so that I know when to follow-up.

Hi Thakgalo 

Thank-you for your patience while we investigated your account. 

We have sent a request to Nimble informing them that your loan was settled on the 17 July 2024
We have also sent a request for your credit profile to be updated 

Please allow 5 working days for the updates to be visible before checking your credit profile again 

We hope this helps to resolve your query 

Thanks

Hi Wonga,

It has now been 9 days (7 business days), which is 2 days beyond the prescribed 5-day timeframe, yet there are still no updates on my credit profile. While I understand that corrections at the credit bureau may take time, I don’t understand why my account has not been updated in your own database. My paid-up letter has still not been reinstated, and my statement remains unchanged.

Additionally, Nimble Group still believes I have an outstanding balance on my Wonga loan, further complicating matters. Why is this process taking so long? What is causing the delay? Updating internal records should not take more than 24 hours, yet I am still waiting for resolution.

Please provide an explanation and ensure my account is corrected without further delay.
