in Credit cards
AVOID VANQUIS VISA CARD I got an application form through the post for the Vanquis Visa Card offering me 58.6% APR on a credit limit of £250.00. Also between 44.2% and 69.1% APR on purchases. Plus an annual fee of £19. You would be mad to touch this!! Watch out!!

Something about someone who's posted a lot, about a card that is talked about a lot, and the fact that the person who's posted a lot should have known about the search facility?Conjugating the verb 'to be":
-o I am humble -o You are attention seeking -o She is Nadine Dorries0 -

I cannot believe what a rip off this card is...what are they trying to do to people?! Thanks for bringing this up Mr Skint.
A friend showed me a letter he received today offering him a Vanquis Visa card with a annual fee of £19 and get this, at 58.6% APR!!! :eek:
I nearly fell off my chair!
They are trying to get people with poor credit and CCJs to get one promising that it will and I quote "Build a strong credit rating"
I sincerely hope people do not fall for this.Debt 2007 £17k
Current Debt approx £7.5k
Target - to pay off all debts by 2020 :A0 -

I too received a Vanquis application yesterday and a Provident offering me a cash loan.
Anyway my shredder was on hand and if these company's wish to continue sending me this information I am happy to keep shredding. Excellent for starting my fire in the drawing room!0 -

Who could have possibly failed to spot Mr Skint's post was a joke?
O yes... me.
I'd have got away with it too if Paul hadn't read my post in the 30 seconds it took for me to realise my blunder and delete it. :rolleyes:0
