Re: Citizens Advice Bureau to work with loan provider Wonga
I know too many *good* CAB advisors to get into the general "slag off" CAB camp, but idiotic decisions like this really don't help their cause.

Re: Citizens Advice Bureau to work with loan provider Wonga
sorry - to clarify, I meant wonga (i.e. us lot slagging them off, not CAB)....Originally posted by rizzle View Post
CAB have certainly not done themselves any favours, as you know I never used to be a fan till you told me some of the good stories. That said, I still feel this is a bad move and not one that many people will like as the first thing that they'll think is "CAB will try to get me to repay my wonga loan" - whether that is what they'd have said (or not) originally doesn't matter, people will now always use this against them.
Sad state of affairs. We all need funding, but then as I say don't start something you physically have no control over. Bit like A4E - they are scum and deserve to lose all contracts via the gvt which would then close them down; the point is I recall the day they started and won the first JC+ contract, I argued about it at the time (based on it being a private company with profits to consider) - did you know the DWP paid them over £100 per client for a basic 'back to work' course, yet they'd send maybe 100 clients per week to each local A4E office so in essence why not just create an internal training dept, well that's what I said.
Anyway.....

Re: Citizens Advice Bureau to work with loan provider Wonga
It's the people in power that have made these companies as successful as they are by stripping as many people in this country as they can of earning honest money and instead forcing them to accept NMW and a part time job - or nothing, it's no wonder people are turning to bloody crime.
Not a clever move on the CAB/Wonga deal though.
