Although I understand the payday loan sharks are used by the canny
poor because they know that if they get to the end of the month and
incur penalty charges on phone, loan, cards etc they will be fleeced.
Better to pay the outrageous fees to a payday loan shark than to let
the high street banks get at you.

It's a sobering thought but wonga exists because the likes of Barclays
and Lloyds are even worse.

They exist because the likes of Barclays and Lloyds won't lend people
money that they can't afford to pay back
Lenders like wonga will lend money to almost anyone and send the heavy
mob around if they don't pay.
They are not in the same leagues.

Actually if you are getting into trouble Barclays and Lloyds will start
to increase your costs and rob you as fast as they can, knowing you
can't afford to pay it back.

TW


do they charge over 500%?
