Wonga being *********.

I app**** with Wonga.com back in November and It is one of my biggest regrets. I have not received the funds and I noticed that the last 4 digits of the bank account number was incorrect, I notified Wonga of this and they requested a letter from the bank, I went to the bank who informed me that no such letter is possible.

I then sent My bank statement which proves I have not received the funds and I am now told to get this letter again.

My questions are:

1) Isnt it your duty to ensure that the loan goes into the correct bank account(Name should match)? 2)If i received the funds to the correct account would you not have been able to debit the funds? 3)Does Wonga not only debit from the bank account that the lenders salary goes into ?

This is not on my credit record and your contact center is no help, if not resolved by tomorrow I will going to the financial ombudsman.

Regards Keenan

Hi Keenan,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We have received your Standard Bank bank statement that is your Elite Current Account,

When the Wonga application was submitted a Standard bank Savings account was used. 

We have onsite ***** specialists and they will start an investigation but they require 

all documents to start their investigation.

If you do not have a Standard bank Savings account, please go into the bank and request a 

letter that stipulates you have never had any other accounts and you only have an active 

Standard bank Elite Current Account.

Once we receive that documents, will our ***** team be able to start their investigation 

and feed back to you with a conclusion.

We can assure you, if we work together we can have this query actioned 

and feed back to you with a resolution.

Thank you for your patience.

The Wonga Team.


Best regards,

Hi Keenan,

Thank you for your response.

We can confirm that we received a Confirmation of Bank Account from 

Standard Bank.

Our ***** Team requires a letter from Standard Bank stating that you have never had a 

Standard bank Savings account,

The loan was funded into a Standard bank Savings account and the letter you have 

emailed is a confirmation of Bank account and not a letter stipulating 

that you have never had an active Standard bank Savings account,

Once our ***** Team receives the required documentation, will we investigate 

what transpired on the account and feed back to you with a conclusion. 

Thank you for your patience.

The Wonga Team.


Best regards,

Hi

I have sent bank statements, letters as requested and it seems as if though this will be a never ending battle.

What will you require after the letter? Im done jumping through your hoops. Look how long it took you guys to get back tp me i would like a call from someone in a senior position explaining why i have had to send 3 letters?!.

Thanks

Good day

I have sent the letter you requested from my bank.

Still no call from a senior manager and not even the decency to acknowledge my emails.

Please resolve this ASAP. I Will now only accept calls from your head of operations or CEO.

Thanks

Hi Keenan,
Thanks for your email.
Upon investigation we can confirm that the funds was 
disbursed into your current bank account ending with 
account number *6499* (standard bank)
We can also confirm that the loan was disbursed on the 
02 November 2020 and this bank account has been frozen 
since the 03 December 2020 therefore our ***** team 
requires a bank statement from the 02 November 2020 
when the loan was disbursed, to proceed with 
our current investigation.
We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication. 
Kind Regards
The Wong Team.

Best regards,

Good day, did i not send you guys a letter with confirmation of my bank account?

Im pretty sure it doesnt end in 6499.


I will play your game and get you another bank statement but i will also be taking you to the financial ombudsman and seeking legal action as this is exactly why your company has not survived in the UK.

Before I get this bank statement is there anything else you need?
