    Called them, got diverted to another person who didn't have the information, said appropriate team musn't be in at the moment (I'm assuming the PPI sales team) and that I could try again in the morning or wait for them to call me again.
  • Has anyone ever actually been declined by Vanquis? How did this tragedy come about and did they give you a straight no or prolong the agony and humiliation of it all ;)?
    An I though you go to them when you have been booted out by the rest ;)

    Try Aqua as well.

    They called me back on my way into work this morning, I have been accepted :D

    And so I start on the ladder to repairing the damage I stupidly did over the last few years!
  • Does anyone know how easy it is to cancel their PPI? I am sure I am sure I told em where to shove it when they phoned me but have just noticed it on my statement!!!!!

    Any potential problems trying to cancel it?

    Thanks in advance :)


    Anyone? I want to be informed before I ring them....................

  • Well it's been 25 days since I applied, and I've heard nothing!

    Do I ring them and ask what's happening, or take it I've been declined?

    Cheers

    Wondering if someone who has applied recently can help me out.

    I applied over the weekend and had a missed call on my mobile at 8.30 this morning. No message left or anything. If the same happened to you did they call you in the evening?

    Also, is getting a call so quickly after application a good sign?


    I had applied online and got a call on my landine the following morning, i think the call came from an 0800 number? Quite possible it was your call back and to clarify

    Just received my 4th increase from Vanquis in the last 12 months, now up to £2500.

    It went £250, £500, £1500, £2500 - increases every 4 months.

    Have to say, I know that Vanquis get a bad rep due to APR etc, but really for someone like me with my previous rating I couldn't expect anything more.

    Also, their Gold customer service agents have always been bob on with me, no problems with their service whatsoever.
    Next : £615/£1500 // JD Williams : £23.40/£450 // Vanquis : £190/£250 // Cap1 ?

    Jacamo : £0/£150

    Though in truth, that sentiment should hold true for any business.
