    4th statement produced. Still £250 limit. :(
    Don't understand why Aqua and Vanquis both didn't up my credit limit.

    Hi all....

    I'd like to check my Vanquis balance, but can't find the number for the automated line, has anyone got it handy?

    I've done a search, but can't find anything. (it's probably there, but I've missed it :o)

    Thanks

    Try in the morning, when my Brother had his 1st increase he rang up at night and the statement had been produced but no limit increase, he then rang again in the morning and it had. :D

    I have £149 of cash advances on my Vanquis card. I'm starting to realize why they didn't up my limit. £101 available credit, £149 cash withdrawals and fees.

    Have you gone over or your limit or been late paying?

    Nope. Always been kept under £200 and paid via DD (minimum payment), then topped up with a debit card payment.
