Wonga is the best payday loan company…

Wonga is the best payday loan company out there they are discreet and always quick with your application where other company can take hours even days before letting you no the outcome I must add this as the company as gone under and it should of been some of the others as this was one of the best if there can be a best payday loan company I would recommend only piggybank or cashasap not sunny as they are the worse of a bad bunch really terrible customer service and not very good with business as they have turned down lots of people I know when they had already given them loans before that's not a bad thing just not good business in my mind

Brilliant service

Brilliant service, quick easy to use, it was simple to get the money the interest I had to pay was very low I was surprised, the money was in my account within a minute & the only problem I had but it wasn’t wonga fault was my card details had expired & I hadn’t updated the card, but the wonga gave me another 3 days to pay without having to pay a penalty......I was shocked & very happy with this service & if I ever have another emergency I won’t think twice about using them again, thank you!

Best of the bunch

I was unable to make my payment this month because I work freelance and June is the quietest time of year. I emailed Wonga to explain and got an email back in a couple of days saying they would suspend all interest and collection activity for a month. I didn't even need to speak to them. I am impressed by this. Wonga are definitely the best of the short-term lenders.

Great loan company

Great loan company, let’s me pay back early with less interest and allowed me on my first loan to extend my repayment date as I got my payment date confused. Very helpful customer service.
