    its actually 26 people. So if one person pays up out of 26 you are in the money. Not bad.
    What is the only person who pays it back,pays it back in the required time of 5 days? You've just given out £2600 and got back £110.

    Try again ........ maybe 3rd time lucky for you?

      It's been discussed before, but I really don't see the problem. If you need a few quid to see you until payday, and you've no credit card, these guys offer a reasonable service for poor people. Certainly better than the loan sharks.

        I thought term "loan sharks" applied to lenders who'd charge like 50% APR or something?

        These wonga guys certainly ain't sharks ...

          People who are responsible with their money rarely need money to 'tide them over' ..... however people who aren't see this as a quick fix. Then of course they need another quick fix to solve this quick fix ........ and so on .......

          Sorry but these guys are predators and the government should do something about them.

          I would rather starve than take a short term loan with these guys.

              ... to help pay for all the social services that people will require once theyve been cleaned out by these sharks and need taxpayer funded help in order to put a roof over their head and food in their mouths.

                I think there are poor poor than you know. Fags ain't cheap these days!

                EDIT: Fags as in cigarettes. Although the other type of fag is probably expensive too!
