Wonga Compensation

A question about : Wonga Compensation

I'm just wondering if anyone has received their compensation from Wonga for their use of fake solicitor letters? Or indeed if anyone has had any update from the initial flurry of contact?

Best answers:

• I believe there is some kind of message on their website stating end of Feb, however I would personally take this with a pinch of salt. I started chasing my redress letter up in October & following 5 failed promises, when I should expect to receive my redress letter I complained to the FSA whom are now handling my case. I should hear from the FSA within the next 4 weeks.
• Thank you for the reply. I purposely do not go to their website at all.
  I've written them a letter of complaint and will approach the Ombudsman after 28 days. Personally I don't think they'll be around in the UK much longer than a year or two...
• I sent back my acceptance letter two weeks ago and I have heard nothing since. Not expecting anything from them to be honest
• I haven't heard anything either and it was over 2 weeks back.
• My friend works for a small payday company & they have decided recently to stop lending due to the amended rules they now have to adhere from the FCA, which no longer makes it profitability for the 30 day loans. Apparently his bosses believe the likes of Wonga & Quickquid are/will be following the lines of the 118 loans etc the smaller companies will close.
• Anyone received any compensation yet? 3 weeks and I've heard nothing. Time to call them I think
