    Innocent, who was your CIFAS with?

    Never has any cifas markers showing.

    Had loads of linked addresses I knew nothing about and some companies showing defaults that I had never had agreements with.

    Got all of the defaults and linked addresses removed...

    In the top right hand corner of when the card come it will give you your exact APR for cash withdraws and on purchases, it won't be 59.9% it will be a little less, I hope.

    Well that could be the case, unfortunately CIFAS don't have to show on your credit file, which I think is rather sneaky.

    Did Vanquis ask you for ID to open the account? :confused:

    To know for certain if there are any hidden it would be worth S.A.R them, it costs £10 and they have to by law send you everything they have on you, it takes up to 40 days.

    I don't have a Vanquis card, I can't get one for some bloody reason either.

    My Mum, Dad and Brother all have one and all live at the same address as me.

    My Dads is 34.9% and my Mums is 45% and my Brothers is 47%. I have less outstanding debt than my Brother as well. :confused:

    Bizarre and very frustrating. :mad:

I know that T-mobile said they will cifas me when they removed the incorrect info from my credit file however I have never seen it on my files...... It is mad that Vanquis wont accept you. When did you last apply?

    When the Company who added you to CIFAS requested it not to be shown to you on your credit file.

    Hi Lilac,

    If you dont mind how was your account run and when did you get your increases? Also do you pay full or min payment.
