    Don't waste your money. They are NOT a credit card company, only a "card broker" and will introduce you to other company's . Go there yourself https://www.vanquis.co.uk/home/Apply_now.aspx?ref=AW&affid=57984

    Definately dont pay, they cannot guarantee that you will be accepted. Credit card companies will not charge you for applying with them. As previously mentioned, try vanquis or capital one classic card.
