Been with vanquis for fifteen years always paid what was asked, apart from covid. Got a letter to say I was in debt in as much as I had paid more in fees and interest then what I had borrowed. Could it be that the interest rate has gone from 17% to 42% how offensive is that Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

It’s a good card if you want to build your credit just think the interest rates are high Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Appalling!

Appalling!! Take advantage of people with a debt history with some dubious practices and an increased interest rate. Several years ago forced to refund their ROP scheme and since then have removed ability to pay via online banking (you have to log in to pay). This can take several days to clear and gives them the window of opportunity to raise over the limit fees. I just transferred some money to my partner and it took 15 seconds! This is the 21st century. What are they not complying? Also the way they present their online statements is not clear. You have no idea what interest is being applied or when. I am at my credit limit but get a text to say I am over my limit and need to send £2. What is this for? Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Interest rate is slightly too high
