    Just so you know its spelt Vanquis

    A statement is always a months in arrears (roughly) so anything im spending at the moment I wont need to pay until March. It will clearly show whats due on your statement and by when.

    You should set up a direct debit for the full balance so that you do not get charged interest at 39.9%APR or higher.

    Your APR will also be shown on your statement and maybe your IBanking account as well (not sure on that though with Vanquis)

    Can I find out my credit score?
    You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)
