    Chanz, the Vanquis card is aimed at people who have a poor credit history (they generally don't pay back) and hence they're a greater risk. Those who pose a greater risk have to pay more APR. If they did not then either they could never have credit or we would all have higher APR.

    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
