The worst company to get a credit card…

The worst company to get a credit card with. No compassion or care for customers and very dismissive. I have had several issues with this company and none were dealt with professionally. Go for ANY other credit card provider. I have had pneumonia for the last couple of months and was not at work and instead of this being discussed when I called they have sent my outstanding amount to debt collectors. They do not care about there customers.

Vanquis don’t have loyalty for long…

Vanquis don’t have loyalty for long customers . I’m not sure why I kept on getting this email of due for increase and when I respond it would be a rejection.
I have maintained my payment regularly without any defaults in a very long time
I feel very disappointed and have planned to pay off the balance and wouldn’t want to use it again.
Please I don’t need that increase limit offer anymore

Great Experience with Vanquis

I’ve had a very good experience with my Vanquis credit card. The application process was straightforward, the app is easy to use, and I can easily keep track of my balance and payments. The card has also been helpful for building my credit history. Customer service has been helpful whenever I’ve needed assistance. Overall, I’m happy with Vanquis and would recommend it to anyone looking for a credit-building card.

I’ve been scammed

The beginning of July I was scammed by a company that does not exist. Normally any other credit card company would accept this and immediately refund the money that was lost. Unfortunately Vanquis in their infinite wisdom seemed to accuse me of fraud or so it seems to me. I have been an upright citizen for 77years and have never cheated anyone. The investigation concerning this scam is continuing after a month and there is no conclusion as yet even though I supplied positive evidence along with phone numbers to reinforce this evidence but nothing has been done. May I suggest Vanquis closes this waste of space department and reopen with capable staff.
