Don't trust everything they say.

I appreciated Vanquis being there to help me start working on rebuilding my credit score, they even offered me a reduced interest rate. What I didn't appreciate though, was them waiting until I had spent on the card to raise the interest rate back up to the extortionate starter rate, with no warning. That struck me as predatory.
