  • SRuben it might have made more sense to bring your Vanquis card back within its limit rather than paying the finance company the £100 today. Why not use your credit cards now responsibly so that you can rebuild your credit? If Capital One gave you a card with a £500 limit from the get-go that's really not bad. Your credit status can't be completely shot to pieces!

    Thank you for your response. I think I just panicked as it said it was deliquent balance. I am going to aim to get vanquis back within its credit limit after Christmas. I have used the capital one card a couple of times but have transferred money from my normal account to the card to pay it back so it is now £500 again. 2009 will hopefully mean a better credit rating for me.

    evening all ppl
  • SRuben, is there no way you can get that Vanquis balance down within its limit ASAP? Before Christmas?

    Possibly why is being over your limit bad for your credit rating.
