Wonga to pay £2.6m after threatening borrowers with fake lawyers
Thousands of Wonga customers are due compensation after the payday lender pressured 45,000 customers into repaying loans by sending letters from non-existent law firms chasing debt, and overcharged thousands more following "technical errors".
The UK's biggest payday lender is to pay £2.6 million after it sent letters to around 45,000 customers in arrears under the names "Chainey, D'Amato & Shannon" and "Barker and Lowe Legal Recoveries", between October 2008 and November 2010. The letters implied debts had been passed to a law firm or other third party...

Wouldn't catch reputable lenders doing that. Sharing an office with a so called independent Debt Collection Agency and solicitors that share the same building, floor, address, post code, telephone number, fax number....same registered office, same named partners...
Nah, I've never seen that. :59:
At least Wonga used their imagination :3:
May I take this opportunity to welcome you to Field, Samsung, and Settee.
