in Credit cards
I have a Vanquis gold credit card, limit of £3000
To make is simple, the balance for 2 years (24 months) has been near the limit full,6 (lets say £2500 for similciy) and have been paying just above the minimum payment every month (lets say £200/month)
and yes I know alot of interest was accumulated during this time,
but now am able to pay the full remaining balance in one go, which will make the balance = £0.
and no more interest.
But I would like to keep the allowed credit limit to £3000 for the future.
Was wondering could they see that I had a huge amount of ongoing debt, and reduce the limit from £3000 to £1500 for example,
as an act of being a more responsible lender ? which means I don't have as much credit to use in the future.
Could they reduce this limit automatically, without asking me? with a notification via letter to say that they have done that, to be a etc?
has this happened with you on your vanquis credit card?
what was your experience?

Yes, they could reduce it.
But don't ever let that stop you paying it off.

Pay it asap - whatever they do they do - it's likely they won't - but if they did it's not the end of the world. Paying silly interest is. Go for it - get it down to zero.0

Nobody can say for sure what an individual provider will do. However, if you've been with Vanquis 2 years and have been making on-time payments, you can probably get a card with a "better" provider now should you ever want it.
