Would not help someone is crisis

1
My circumstances have changed in the next few years due to disability, anxiety and partner left me etc, and especially the cost of living crisis has not helped. I called vanquis to ask for help, said that I could pay them £50 a month rather than the minimum payment which seems to have increased exponentially compared to my other credit cards. I have never missed a payment in the 8 years I have had a credit card with them. They said they would, but then didn't, instead passed me to a company called Payplan who wants me to relinquish all credit I may have available to me. I would have thought vanquis would rather have something rather than nothing from me. But obviously I am now going to have to have my credit rating affected because of their idiocy. It has made me feel as though I want to kill myself. Thanks vanquis. Reviewed on: 16th November 2022

Easy to apply

A card was sent after filling in a form, pre loaded with £500. I got into a bit of a mess understanding the pay back times so did pay more than I should have. Fine if you need money fast. Be careful with the small print. Reviewed on: 20th July 2022

Amazing credit card

This bank has been there for me every step of the way... Great rates , great communication...I cant fault this company, only thank them... Highly recommend Reviewed on: 8th July 2022

Easy to use app

5
I have held a Vanquis card for some time and overall I am very happy. The app is easy to use, and security when using the card has recently been improved. The only thing I would say is that I rarely get offers - ie balance transfer offers etc. That would be an added bonus. Overall - very happy. Reviewed on: 8th July 2022

Brilliant

5
Customer service at Vanquis are amazing and so helpful I was given a 650£ limit when every other company declined me. Vanquis gave me a chance and I was really grateful. Reviewed on: 18th June 2022
