Elizabeth makes a good point about pawn shops, at least if you had pawned your Sunday best and could not meet the payments they kept the suit and your debt was cleared. |

I do not think that, because this happened before the FCA took over the regulation of payday lenders, has any relevance - a criminal offence was committed and this should have been investigated by the police and their finding passed to the Crown Prosecution Service. |

Should Wonga & its Directors be prosecuted, I ask this because they have been using non existent firms of solicitors to try and collect loan payments. Impersonating a solicitor has been a long-standing criminal offence and anyone found guilty of this can face a hefty fine and/or imprisonment, and several people have been jailed in the past for this. |
