Allows Them to Defraud Their Customers And They Wo

Allows them to defraud their customers and they won't do anything about it. They couldn't care less about their customers withbtheir overseas call centres, ridiculous waiting times, decision making is ridiculously long and they couldn't care less and shaft their customers. Good luck on ever getting me to pay now. You're lack of customer care over £40 is going to cost you £3300. ENJOY!

Incompetence On A Whole New Level

One mistake after another. Can’t get through to anyone that can help, promised call backs that never happen. Their error and it’s been going on more than a month. Literally hours and hours on phone and losing sleep. They don’t rectify their mistakes they just make more. Trying to pay it off to close it and they added 1000 to my balance and can’t seem to sort out why. Asked for evidence- they won’t provide. Made a complaint- they don’t answer. Please don’t use them. They’re mistakes ruin peoples lives and they won’t fix them

Identify Theft

Recently I have suffered identity theft with this bank. Someone opened credit card just with my name! It’s that easy to open it, yeah… It was more than 8 weeks ago, they said they closed that credit card, but they didn’t and now it ruined my credit score because of missed payments. And no one is willing to help me, customer service is so poor. Avoid this bank at any cost!

Worst Customer Service

Quite possibly the worst customer service I've come across, sent the same message so many times, even put the key words they were asking for in brackets, the words were literally in the first email I sent, this company is a complete joke, can't even read, ridiculous.

Helped Me Improve My Credit Score

I was struggling with my credit score and got pre-approved for a Vanquis card. Got 0% interest for the first 12 months and my credit score seemed to improve, since then they keep offering me the chance to increase my credit and windows for 0% balance transfers, but I think they do charge a monthly fee of around £9. App works well.

Clean Credit Repair

If an individual or company is unable to pay debts, they may be forced to file for bankruptcy to receive legal protection. Filing for bankruptcy is an extreme event, and it is the most damaging event to an entity’s credit score.If a borrower files for bankruptcy, the information will be recorded in the credit report, and it stays there for seven years. Due to the complexity of bankruptcy cases, most lenders shy away from lending to borrowers with a history of bankruptcies and court cases relating to their financial situation. This could lead to a bad credit report and our credit specialists are here to make the corrections.

Removing inquiries may make sense if you have previously been a victim of identity theft. Disputing inquiries is also advisable if a company has checked your report without permission, as this implies that the inquiry might lead to future identity theft. i once hired rocketskycredit via telgram to help with my total credit repair some months ago. It's totally worth it.

Bank Refuses To Help Negotiating Balance

I got my Vanquis car almost 6 years ago, never missed a payment and never exceed my limit. For several times, I would even pay all my balance at once. I am now facing some financial problems and I called the bank to get help to negotiate my balance or at least freeze my interests until I get back to my feet. To my surprise, the bank plainly refused to help me with any plans due to the fact that I have "exceed income", which is the only income I have left for any food/medical expenses or for any emergencies. I am extremely disappointed that, the moment I need the most, I was simply left with no solution whatsoever to help me with my debts and to help me to clear my balance. I do not recommend.

Damaged My Credit Score

Could never sign into this card, so I just cut up my card & never used. They sent me a letter saying they had closed my account. Now I get a letter saying they’ve charged me £40 on a repayment option plan & sent it to a debt agency but it was a mistake & they’ve refunded me. I had this company for less than a couple of months & they’ve ruined my credit limit & I’ve got a black mark against my name. Terrible company!!

Give This Company A Wide Berth

Give this company as wide a berth as possible, their customer service is dire and they are very inflexible in terms of increasing the paltry credit limit that comes with the card. Anyone thinking of applying for a credit card from Vanquis will have to be desperate.

Q&A

Sianadi57

If you close your account voluntarily, how soon can I reapply for a new account?

malcolmseeby

Can I get cash from a credit card?

ella-louisehayes

Does this card effect your credit rating? Since I have had it I have realised it has gone down. I got pulled over by the sales person they told me that it wouldn't make my credit rating any lower but I have realised a significant drop and I have paid my bill as soon as it has gone through. Very confused can anyone help? Don't know what I'm doing wrong and whether or not it is a good idea to just get rid of this?

Donno340

I've just got a Vanquis card and spent just under the 150 pound credit limit, I phoned them and they won't tell me my minimum payment and what I have to pay back. I'm confused. What should I do?

jamie12492

My card has expired and I need a new one. What do I do?

cnett

You should get a replacement card in the post. But if you have not got one give them a call and they should send you out a new one.

lesleyannb

I have not received my pin number. What do I do?

trishA15

I have a Vanquis Gold card. It expires 01/15, will Vanquis send me a new one before it expires?

intercityboi

Yes, they will send you one sometime in the middle of December.

surinderkhurana

Is there any offer of 0% bank transfer facility for gold card?

MaritoF1995

Today I was accepted by Vanquis Card to do shopping in Argos.

I want to know how many days will take for the Vanquis Card arrive my home?

And I want to know as well if I can buy anything in Argos without the Vanquis Card/Argos Card, and if so how can I do it?

lisaj22

I've kept my account in good order but I have had no credit increase. Could anyone tell me why? 

intercityboi

Most card companies, along with the banks, are reluctant to lend/increase limits because of the current financial situation. Although things seem to be getting better, it may be a long while before they start to lend like they used to. Then again, that's what got us in to the mess in the first place.

I, personally, would avoid building up a large balance with Vanquis. It will take you a lot of time (and money) to clear it. I was paying £150 per month on a £3000 balance and was clearing pennies every month. Once you start to rebuild your credit score, try a more reputable lender without the eye watering interest rates.

Good luck!
