Hello, I'm really pleased with my Vanquis card which I learnt about here (thanks everyone!). Got it in February with credit limit of £250 and they've just put this up to £500. Like others I am using it to repair my credit history and I pay off the balance every month. I've had a Capital One card since 2007 and they've never increased my limit (not that I've asked). Am trying hard to reduce a previous M & S credit card balance of £6450 - have got it down to £4350 now and aiming to clear by end of year.Magiciansgirl0

My 4th Aqua statement is produced on the 13th (2 days), and 4th Vanquis statement produced on the 22nd. Hoping one of them increases the credit limit, as both are at £250. I've never paid off in full since I've had them, always paid interest of around £4 each month. Pay around £50 a month off.0
