Get rid of poor limit credit card?

Hello

I’ve suffered with bad credit in the past so I got a Vanquis credit card about 2 years ago

£150 limit high interest rate and doesn’t seem like there going to ever put it up

I’ve since been able to get a 500 limit with MBNA with an ok interest rate

And now a lloyds credit cards with a £3000 limit and a low interest rate,

Should I cllose the Vanquis card now. All have been managed perfectlyv

    Why not use the Lloyds card.

    Use the vanquis for a weekly shop for example.

    As long as you have all your cards set up to pay off the balance in full every month by direct debit then I would use all of your cards at least a little each month to build a good history of credit management.
