    I have just had my monthly Vanquis statement today. The purchase interest rate is rising next month from 34.080% to 41.2% and the cash interest is rising from 41.190% to 47.89%. They have also changed their Customer Service phone line charge to 7p per minute.

    A 7% rise in interest. Has anyone else had this rise?
    Reeived my latest statement. Purchase APR to increase from 34.9% to 41.2% from next statement. It has given me even more incentive to pay the debt off.

    Did Flybe accept you online? Even if they accept you online do they still manually check you later on?

    No probs, i applied today, got auto accepted. rang to ask my credit limit and she said £1500 and that it had "gone through ok" I forgot to ask the APR!.
    As for my credit report, I was BR in 2004, got Cap1 and others last year to build my report. I have 3 searches in last 6 months on Equifax and all my accounts are upto date and showing green 0's.
    I applied to Flybe in Sept'08 and got knocked back, I wasn't on the elec rol then. got on now so think this helped me.
