APR far to high, nearly impossibly to get out of it once your in it. I finally rang to cancel after working hard for 6 months to pay it all off (after I rang them explaining my situation and asking for some help) got told all was fine and card was canceled, to then be hit with charges the next month Reviewed on: 28th June 2016

They are very helpful in maintaining a good credit history. When I've had an issue with a payment they've listened, advised and helped me out with repayment plans. Wholly recommend! Reviewed on: 19th May 2016

Good for building your credit rating but high interest

4
I got a Vanquis card to build my credit as I had a poor rating due to getting into debt in my younger years. I have found it good for credit rating building - as long as you make your payments on time there is no problem, and they increase you credit balance every now and then too! But, the interest rates are high - obviously this is because you are classed as "high risk" because of poor credit rating and this is something you have to swallow if you want to rebuild you credit. But if you can spend on the card and repay it in full every month then you don't get charged any interest anyway, so this is a sensible way to do it. The E-Vanquis online facility is easy to use to make payments and keep on top of your spending, easy to navigate etc. I have found Vanquis easy to communicate with and a pleasant experience so far.
