    Their is a high chance that either credit card companies and or credit reference agencies are giving Vanquis customer details. The reason/evidence: is I got my application form not long after being rejected for a credit card. I've never got one in the several years previous from Vanquis because I never applied for any credit - also someone I know got rejected for a credit card (not connected) and soon after they got a Vanquis application form but, Vanquis rejected his application but, accepted me!

    So I think they are targetting more than random unsolicited mailing, so to speak.

    This happened to me too.
    I applied for a card, got declined, next day, a Vanquis mailshot came through.
    I live in a relatively affluent countryside area in Oxfordshire, so I very much doubt it was untargeted.
