    Thats what I did and is the best way I think. Beware though that Vanquis have no online access and, apart from the initial application, everything is done by phone.

    As stated, Vanquis are more tolerant of chequered histories - though their interest rates reflect that.
    I also wanted to say that I love the way you worded the subject line :D .
    Was that intentional or one of those humorous
    Freudian slips?
    Dredit indeed ;) .
