  • but when I said..oh I don't want any PPI, he said, it's not that...! and then he started to talk crap about mobile statements and repayments, and paper statements..and that it was only 1.9% of the bill so to avoid upsetting him and getting declined I said ok! :P but I will definetely cancel as I don't need it! I tried the number above but it doesn't work! i'll try with 0871 when I get the card and details of myvanquis

    also, can somebody explain me this plz:

    nterest-free periodUp to 56 days interest-free on purchase transactions only, where you have paid off two or more consecutive current statement balances in full and on time



    ...can u use the card everywhere? in every store? what about paypal?
    when does the statements generally come thru? do you have to pay before it says..please pay by.. to avoid the late fees?

    Just tried the 0800 number and it works, you need to choose option 2 and input your card number then your DOB.
    You have already been accepted by this point - they're just trying to sell you something extra.

    0800 781 6314

    you do realise that 0800 numbers aren't free on the mobile? What I do is call 01250820800 and, after following the instructions, it will connect you to a freephone number for free.

    I called today the number they used to call me all the time and it worked! btw I've been approved with a £500 limit, thing is.. he was so persistent and he wanted me to pay by dd ..the minimum amount every month! even tho I said I wanted to pay in full, I was a bit scared tho that he'd reject my application if I kept going against him. so I agreed at the end, but is there a way to change it and pay in full every month? I don't wanna end up paying a ridiculous amount on interest..I Understand why he said, oh it's better minimum amount..yeh, FOR YOU!

    then he went to PPI, that I rejected but he sold another thing that I didn't really get and it was about paper statements and mobile thing, sold for 1.9% of the total amount of the bill... what the hell is that? i need the paper statements and stuff, but anyways, is it possible to cancel it?

    I rejected right away the cash in advance saying I didn't need it! then he went on and on and on...

    Hiya, ive just opened a card with Vanquis and I dont recall them mentioning setting up a direct debit - do they do this automatically? or do they ask you for your bank details over the phone - Im a bit worried now......

    Don't worry about d/d when I was approved I set one up, and canceled the dd when I received my card. I prefer to pay using online banking.
  • they set me up a DD with MINIMUM REPAYMENT... cos he thought it was better.. yeh right, better for him! deffo gonna cancel it as soon as the welcome pack arrives!

    I got a bolt on from Vodafone for £2.50 and it allows 0800/0808/0500/0845 and 0870 calls to come out of my inclusive minutes.

    Bonza!!
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    Does it include 0844 and 0871? As more and more companies are switching to these...
