To be fare, I have had little to no experience with difficulties in my dealings with anyone at any offices as yet, I use my credit card as and when I need to and at the end of the month pay off the outstanding total. With this, I have no problems. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Balance transfer scam

1
After doing a balance transfer to my Vanquis account which the offer was 0% for 12 months, for which I was charged a balance transfer fee of £147, Vanquis put the transfer amount through as a purchase on my account, so I’m now getting charged interest on this amount only a month after doing balance transfer, in regards to customer service they are useless, all they did was tell me they will put through a complaint for me, which can take up to 56 days! I will never deal with Vanquis again! Reviewed on: 15th July 2025
