Poor Poor Service

Good Day,

What poor service wow. I have made a payment on the 20th May 20 after being chased by 2 different debt collection companies post payment.

I asked to please update credit bureau because I am applying for jobs and this is impacting me. My bank also told me this week that they cant help me cause WONGA is listed as not paid.

What more must I do?

Good Day,

ID number ***

You saying "any inconvenience caused: makes me think this is a template and not a sincere apology for getting me declined and told I didn't pay Wonga...

Why must I send a request to all credit bureaus to have my profile updated? Is it not you who listed me? why do I now have to make contact with all ITC's?

This gets better every time I speak to you guys! Shocking

Good Day,

I no longer have words for the type of service. It so so bad. Lack of communication, no urgency and really no customer satisfaction kept at top of mind.

Its been more than 15 days since i made contact with Wonga and both their clients who chased me for this money. Its been 2 months since i made the payment and still my name is not cleared and the Wonga account shows as not paid on the credit bureau.

How do you expect people to move on from bad debt if you keep them stuck but not updating ITC. Who's responsibility is that? I will never recommend Wonga to anyone no matter how desperate.

Ara group is even worst. They could call everyday for the money but not one call since i sent proof of payment begging them to clear my name.

Disgusted really!

Good day,

To date- I have spent R1340 on airtime , making calls to Wonga everyday requesting a refund of R1700 which they paid to a closed account without asking or confirming with me that the details are correct. I then called to follow up on this and was told 5 different stories about why I never got a refund or why my Credit Profile has not been updated to date. I have been waiting for this refund since the 23rd July with several calls and emails with statements, transaction history to show I have not received the refund. I have been told they do not know where the refund is?? so this is my problem now as the customer? same way I am trying to clear my credit profile myself because Wonga is of no help to their customers. This is so disappointing. Hello Peter complaints don't even help, they are so ok with delivering poor service that no complaint is a complaint, its treated as a normal query. SO after 2 weeks of waiting, I was promised a callback which has not happened. I don't know what more I can do. I should give up right?
