I dislike the fact that you are putting my interest rate up for no apparent reason- I have been with you for many years and it feels like a slap in the face
In response to your reply about it being a fair increase I would like to point out that 49.9% on purchase interest and 69.9% on cash interest is not really that fair
A better reply would have been that you would revert back to the interest rate that I was paying
2 slaps now

I fully trust Vanquis

I fully trust Vanquis. Having the app is great to keep an eye on things. There was a couple of charges on my card which definitely was not from me. As soon as I saw them, I contacted Vanquis and it was sorted really quickly. That card was cancelled and a new one was dispatched really quickly.
I use it for all my purchases as I can see straight away what I have spent. Also the money back by shopping in certain places, ie Iceland is brilliant. Yes I've taken advantage of that a couple of times.
Thank you so much for making things so easy.
