Overview
Wonga.ca is a subsidiary of Wonga.com, which is a large multinational online payday lending company based out of the UK. They operated in Canada from 2012 to 2016, but have since closed.
Rates
Their loans range from $100 to $500. Unlike most payday lenders, their rates scale based on how long you wish to borrow. For a 1 day loan you can pay 1%, and the rate scales up to 21% for 30 days.
Controversy
In May 2012, Wonga was given a warning from the Office of Fair Trading about their debt collection practices. Wonga has rebutted their criticism and says that procedures have been implemented to prevent any further abuses.

I guess it’s probably a little late for a response, hmm? Sorry about that.
Ok so, did you create this yourself personally because looked at this on twitter already.

I do not know what you mean. If you’re saying that this page was copied from Twitter, you may have noticed that the page is more than 140 characters long.
I took out a loan with Wonga and paid it back – my bank statement shows it and my bank confirms it. They just sent an email telling me that I have not repaid the load and will be taking the money out again today. I called them (the person who answered said the office is in Toronto when I asked) and said I had paid it back and had the evidence. The person then said they have been problems and a group of customers have had the same email and not to worry. Their website is not working.
I am wondering if their system has been hacked as their security seems to be very poor. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE THNKING OF TAKING OUT A WONGA LOAN TO AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE.
I have contacted the police and launched a complaint.
I think Wonga is good alternative when someone need help. It is better than asking your family or friends.
