I used wonga last couple off mouths…

I used wonga last couple off mouths never had late payments taken out 6mouth loans payed back in 2mouths a 3mouth one and a 30day one all payed back early. But when I went to apply for £250 the lower loan I would have from them thay declined the application. With nothing telling me why if u have a loan with wonga pay it back over it's tearm as seens to me thay done like people paying back early on the interest rates on the loans thay give you.
Now thay have done this I would not recommend this to my friends or anyway who needs money fast I would recommend my jar which is a payday loan with cheaper Apr. Will not be using wonga again. I don't know how thay still doing business if thay treat people like this.
