Blatant racism

I went to open an account but given every and I mean EVERY image of their customers showed either a black man woman or couple I can only assume they do not want non blacks as customers. This would appear openly racist

In answer to your response - No I don't want to make a complaint as I have simply invested my money elsewhere although I think in this day and age being so overtly racist is quite incredible

Extremely poor customer service and a frustrating account closure process

I have had an incredibly frustrating experience trying to close my Vanquis credit card account after permanently relocating overseas.

Despite repeatedly explaining my circumstances and making it clear that I was ready and willing to pay my outstanding balance in full, what should have been a straightforward process dragged on for months.

On 20 August, Vanquis confirmed in writing that they would change my Direct Debit to collect the full outstanding balance and subsequently close my account. I accepted this arrangement immediately. However, when the payment date arrived, they collected only £10 instead of the agreed amount.

From there, the customer service experience was extremely disappointing.

I repeatedly contacted Vanquis to explain the situation and request a practical way to settle the balance from Australia. Rather than resolving the issue, I was passed between representatives, repeatedly told that my correspondence had been forwarded to a case handler, and asked to provide information I had already explained.

At no point was I given a satisfactory explanation for why the original agreement had not been honoured.

Eventually, after weeks of chasing, I was provided with bank transfer details and paid the remaining £239.70 myself on 25 September. Despite requesting confirmation that the payment had been received and my balance cleared, I have yet to receive that confirmation.

What makes this particularly frustrating is that I was never disputing the debt or attempting to avoid payment. I was actively trying to pay Vanquis what I owed and close an account I no longer needed.

The lack of communication, repeated generic responses and failure to follow through on an agreed resolution made this a far more stressful and time-consuming experience than necessary.

I would have expected considerably better from a regulated financial institution. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Vanquis.
