Worst experience ever

The worst experience I have ever had in my life *********** external collections department. I am speechless !!! My account was handed over to Alliance call center services by wonga because I had some financial difficulties and couldn't honour agreement made between myself and wonga however the debt collection company called me to have a payment arrangement set up and I am telling you I didn't know what I was getting myself into the incompetence the lack of urgency incapable of resolving issues point fingers and each other wonga and alliance and WHILE THEY ARE POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER I AM BEING CHARGED INTREST I AM.BEING CHARGED FOR EMAILS CALLS while they are unable to resolve this issue

I had a debit check agreement with Alliance that started in November 2020 I authorized a debi check but when the debit date came they took debit order from my account one via debi check and one normal debit order which I than reversed the normal debit order as it was not supposed to go off lol and in January i was told they never received any money from me in November I submitted my baking banking statement and till this day no assistance

I have given notice next step is ombudsman

Thank you for speedy reply this is probably the fastest reply I've received when it comes to to this really bad experience I am having

I hope you do resolve it fast very fast because already my credit record is affected by this incompetence lack of urgency incapable collectors. I hope after this investigation you will consider getting a new company to collect on your behalf and the disgusting service will come to an end.

Good Wonga Alliance this serves as friendly reminder that my matter has not yet been resolved and already I am receiving messages of debit orders that will be going off.

Today mark one week since I've lodged my complaint and your disgusting services continues. You do not evens have the decency to give me a courtesy call on how far my complaint is NO UPDATE or whatsoever.


And I was thinking you'd make my life easier guess I have to think again.

We're sorry for the delay but had to wait on feedback before we could

Your response indicates that you have drafted and emailed me the details I am disputing that because I have not received any email from you as yet that is the reason why I asked for feedback.

If it is not to much to ask please I need the person who is drafting and sending me the email to call me also so we can go through the statements and emails together.

Again I said I have not received any email from you ever since I lodged my complaint on hello peter.

Mind you I already have a debi check arrangement with Alliance since last years 2020 November and in South Africa a debi check will only stop if theres insufficient funds for 4 consecutive months and if the creditor in this Alliance stops it and or unless the debt is paid up. In South Africa where I live its most easy to stop a debi check it's a process

My point I am trying to make is a payment arrangement was made with Alliance. This morning Alliance debited R511 and Wonga debited me R686.05 I have been double debited again. And here i am under the impression my account is was handed over to Alliance for collection. You are misleading me and I spoke to a lady by the name of Layla on 24/02/2021 @11:24 am who advised Wonga cannot debit me because the loan term is over that's why it was handed over to Alliance



I WANT MY REFUND TODAY FROM WONGA

Hi Delmaine,

We're so sorry for any inconvenience caused.

As per your loan agreement you accepted an installment loan.

Alliance sets up repayment arrangements for the arrears amount and Wonga 

will continue to debit the installment amount. 

Alliance will debit the arrears but it will not cancel out the original debit order.

We're so sorry, upon investigation you are not a refund due.

Thank you

The Wonga Team.

I would actually like yo thank you for what you are doing its just an indication that theres a stron possibility that this will end up with the ombudsman I already have evidence against your collections company Alliance for misleading me and providing with me incorrect information that is affecting my credit score and again I say the intrest and stuff being charged on it.

I would like to have the call recording for when I called wonga on 24 February 2021 I spoke to a lady by the name of Layla the time was 11:24 I called from *** my email address is ***


Thank you in advance

Wonga failed me again I am very disappointed with Wonga till this day my query that I've been having is not resolved I have been at this from February 2021 it's going for almost 2 months now and nothing is being done


There is a manager by the name if Cwaita whom advised she cannot give me her surname but she's been getting back to me since February with a resolution I am waiting almost 2 months now for a call from a manager at wonga everytime I call she is always in a meeting if I didn't know better I'd day say she is avoiding me

Hi Delmaine, 

We're so sorry for any inconvenience caused. 

We can confirm that our Manager has tried to the best of her 

ability to extract your account from our debt collections agency 

and can confirm that due to your account being overdue it is our 

process that you need to set up a repayment 

plan directly with them. 

Unfortunately, there is nothing that Wonga can do at this point as 

Wonga abides by the rules and regulations set out by the NCA 

and if your account is overdue it automatically gets managed by 

our debt collections agency and a repayment plan 

needs to be set up with them. 

The debt collections agencies are currently collecting on 

Wonga's behalf, due to this reason we are unfortunately 

not able to manage your account internally. 

We hope the above is in order. 

Thank you for your patience 

The Wonga Team.
