Kane Sparham-Price (pictured), 18, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, hanged himself after Wonga took payment for his debts under the terms he had agreed to.

He wrote to the Financial Conduct Authority calling for a statutory minimum amount which must be left in an account to avoid someone being left penniless.
