Wonga's chairman Andy Haste, who joined the company in July, said a review of lending practices had shown the need for change at Wonga was "real and urgent", and new stricter lending criteria would mean "accepting far fewer applications from new and existing customers".

Evidently the new Company Chairman will "hasten" to minimise all possible risk of any future repercussions ... :yeahthat:'s for sure! :ReadIt:
