    I have to see her scroggy face and listen to that awful voice all the time since she's an "ambassador" for my city. It's the way she laughs that really gets on my tits. They need to slap her !!! back to the little Scottish village she came from and keep her there.

  • Vanquis bank have launched a new credit card.

    Its called Granite and is only available if you dont hold a vanquis card.

    Why have they launched a new card i do not know as its exactly the same as the vanquis card.

    I found this card on the moneysupermarket website under credit builder cards.

    There is a seperate thread all about it here:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2592065

    I have one, the general consesus seem to be this has been launched because Vanquis has a bad reputation?? Not my thought but this has been mentioned a few times.

    It does seem to be the same as a Vanquid card in every way, the application process even the terms and conditions that come with it are title Vanquis Visa Card Terms and Conditions. I have also registered my for evanquis online.

    SO yes essentially apart from the new funky design exactly the same card :)

    I fail to understand the point behind this arbitrary and (seemingly) meaningless comment...

    ...Do they call the AMEX Centurion the "Rich c*ck card" or the Egg Money the "tight fisted penny pincher reward suckler" card?

    Going by your logic, they should.

    Although having been a vanquis customer, and dealt with them enough times, I do feel an appropriate name for their cards to be "What were you thinking!?"

    A lady in the flat downstrairs got some junkmail from Vanquis inviting her to apply so I penned "Don't do it!" on the letter before leaving it on the step :o
