    Got back home today to this month's statement from Vanquis. I owe the pricncely sum of 62p! They also enclosed 4 cheques for me to use. Safe to say they went straight in the bin.

    To be frank, if you have been declined by these two, especially Vanquis, there is little to no hope of being accepted for other sub prime accounts.

    Maybe you should run your current account for about 6 months and apply for a CC with them?
