    I have one but do not use it other than to gain good credit record.

    Ordered a trial of health supplements, then cancelled it within a week, emailed them as well but they went in and took the money, so phoned Vanquis back spoke to a really nice blke, who has put the transaction in dispute, blocked the card and ordered new card and pin result:j

    Had mine for about six years - they did go through a stage in 2007 of dropping and then it settled back to where it is now in December 2007.

    I have a Barclaycard (£2300) and Capital one card (£500)

    when i rang to activate the capital one card, the advisor told me that they will increase the limit after the 0% on purchases period (6 months) finishes.

    Are they likley to increase it by much? I took the card out, so that I can hopefully transfer some of my BarclayCard some time in the near future

    I've spent £350 on the card, and am close to paying it off (it'll be cleared by the end of the 0% as its something silly like 36.9%

    Do they offer Life time balance transfer rates for existing customers? or 0% offers on BTs for 6 months etc?

    I don't have the best credit score in the world, and CO were the only company I could get a card with.

    Cheers
