Pathetic Company

I have a short term loan for 5 months so towards the end of July i noticed I can afford to pay the entire loan off so when I went online to the My Account, Wonga gave me the option to repay and one of the options was to pay the full balance by Debit Order which I agreed to. I had EMAIL confirming that on the 31st of July at midnight they'd debit the full amount which was R891.84. However on the 31st I saw that they had not debited my account so I thought okay maybe cause its a Sunday thats why they had not debited my bank account. So I left it till Monday and then nothing happened, I checked the online My Account and noticed that the balance increased from R891.84 to R962.60. I called the Customer Services number (***) but the call only rang once and cut off. I tried many times and that keeps happening so i emailed both the customer services team and the collection dept. And its nearly a week and no response from Wonga. So I sent a message from Facebook Messenger to Wonga, they said to call the number above, i rep**** back and said it does not work. Today I had a message on FB that said Wonga can only debit amount as per the loan agreement - which I understand BUT WHY DID YOU GUYS GIVE ME THE OPTION TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT BY DEBIT ORDER FOR THE 31ST AT MIDNIGHT - I want to clear this loan and by increasing the amount every single damn day does not make it any easier because I have been requesting to pay the ACCOUNT OFF IN FULL so I can have this off my credit file but no you guys just don't seem interested at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WANT TO PAY THE ACCOUNT IN FULL AND THAT TOO FOR THE AMOUNT I SAW IT WHEN I SAID I WANT TO PAY IF OFF WHICH WAS R891.84 (by the way i have proof as its in an email that YOU GUYS sent to me) - AND GIVE ME A DAMN PROPER NUMBER THAT ACTUALLY RINGS AND WHERE SOMEONE ACTUALLY ANSWERS!!!

I missed the call but I rep**** back to the email said yall could have called me yesterday or today.. But I also had a Fb message saying I'd have a call yesterday at 9am .. but guess what it's nearly 24 hrs since that time and I never had anything.. you guys keep fobbing me off... it's beginning to frustrate me ... I want to pay the account for what I owed which was R891.84... I'm not paying anymore than that because you guys decided that as of the 31st they'd be no debit for the full amount and your company has failed to communicate that to me ...I don't know understand how you guys work!!!! disgusting service !!! I expect a call today as I'm busy tomorrow until next week!!!
