    Hi - I would prioritise rent ahead of overpaying on the Vanquis card. Being behind on rent can be a cause for the landlord to start thinking about eviction proceedings and you don't need that - keeping the roof over your head should be your absolute priority.

    Yes, in my previous posts I have said I will pay £100 pm on my Vanquis card and £115 pm {which my landlord is happy with} on rent. My rent arrears will be clear by October and then I will pay £215 off my Vanquis card.

    Thanks

    As long as the landlord is happy then that's fine.
    Best of Luck
