    I'm sure i read it was 59.9%

    Thats a joke..

    what?

    Joke is an understatement. Dont apply for anything til you get your credit reports!

    I'll PM you in morning with names and addresses and a template to send for a SAR on each of the companies. there are 6 in total so its £28 (2 x £10 and 4 x £2)

    You send a cheque in with SAR request..... it;s gotta be interesting but from your apr i'd think someone has added hidden cifas warnings so deffo sar cifas.

    seems weird that someone with a Vanquis has the same limit as my non sub-prime card! I'd hate to owe £2k on Vanquis though - must cost loads on interest each month? Anyone got any experience of high interest for a maxed out card...?

    My highest debt with Vanquis was just under the 1250 mark. Most of it was from online gambling so the interest rate on it was about 47%. If I remember correctly I was paying over £40 a month.

    Thankfully last year I won a jackpot and wiped the card. Never again! :eek:

    hi Noah

    a few years ago when the housing market was good, a friend of mine who is a property developer would take out CCs for sums of £10+ - he would pay them back when the property was rented out or sold on at a higher price
    people like him relied on credit cards to get them through projects that go over their initial estimate

    Hi hackeygirl, thanks for ur post. Interesting.

    By the sound of it, your friend is a BTL type?

    How is your friend doing now? is he still successful despite housing market slowdown?

    Yes but there are hidden cifas markers that do not appear on your credit report thus I say SAR cifas direct! Read the posts from earlier using #45 That will help you understand who holds what info about you. Its not as plain sailing as just the credit report.

    something isn't right to get that apr - trust me. Its extremely high (the highest tier i think)

    I do agree with you. I am assuming all of this incorrect adverse data is showing on these other systems
