Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !
Typical Egg agreement. It is unenforcable becasue it doesn't have the prescreibed terms. It should have a term telling you what your credit limit is. Instead you have an approved limit - whatever that is. That is meaningless and does not comply with teh Consumer Crdit Act 1974 and its associated regulations.

Thanks so much, TBH I thought it looked ok, I did notice the heading was wrong - should read 'Credit Card Agreement' not 'Credit Agreement'
Any idea what sort of letter I should send in response, or should I do nothing. This account is now with 'Collect Direct' not egg.
Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !
I would write and tell Collect Direct that Egg have "provided you with a copy agreement which does not compply with s61(1) of the CCA 1974 and te associated regulations and is therefore only enforceable by an order of the court by virtue of s65. However, since it does not have a term concerning the credit limit (rather, it defines an "Approved Limit" - whatever that is) as required by Schedule 6 of the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983, the court would be prevented from granting such an order by virtue of s127(3)".
Attach a copy of the agreement that Egg sent.
You could offer them a few quid in Full and final settlement as a gesture of goodwill (they wil have bought it from Egg for about 20p in the £1). If you have a default associated with this, you should add that you expect that CD will remove the default as required by the Data Protection Act 1984 since it is obviously incorrect as no agreement existed between you and Egg. Tell them that, ifthey refuse, you will commence court proceedings against them undser s14 of the DPA 1984.

Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !
How about this:-
Dear CD
Thank you for you letter dated XXXXXX, unfortunately Egg have provided you with a copy agreement which does not compply with s61(1) of the CCA 1974 and the associated regulations and is therefore only enforceable by an order of the court by virtue of s65. However, since it does not have a term concerning the credit limit (rather, it defines an "Approved Limit" - whatever that is) as required by Schedule 6 of the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983, the court would be prevented from granting such an order by virtue of s127(3)
As a measure of goodwill I would be prepared to offer the sum of £2000 in Full and final settlement of this account on the basis that you remove any default that you have registered with any credit reference agency as required by the Data Protection Act 1984 since it is obviously incorrect as no agreement existed between you and Egg. If you refuse, you will commence court proceedings against them under s14 of the Data Protection Act 1984.
I look forward to your favourable reply within the next seven days.

The a balance is actually about £12.5K I just though we would offer them that. If they accepted it would I then be able to offer them say £100 for 20 months ?

Might it be better to state you will pay them monthly? Instead of saying 2k as a goodwill gesture, which suggests you will pay them a lump sum of 2k
I could be wrong..
NEXT - sent CCA request - 15/01/09 - not received
Capital One - sent CCA request - 15/01/09 - received CCA and also offer of £67 which I am not accepting.
NatWest - sent s.77 letter complaining about default on file 15/01/09 - *WON* Default removed within a fortnight!!
NEXT - 7/02/09 - sent further letter reminding them of breach of DP
Cap1 - 7/2/09 - Accept part payment/reminder of default to be removed
Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !
I thik cadencalex is correct. If they refuse the gesture of goodwill, you could probably not pay them anything at all. Don't take that course without advice though and certainly not on mine alone.

Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !
Ok, so are you suggesting it would be best that I not offer them anything at present, and maybe see what they come back with in defence of my claim that the agreement is not enforceable ?

Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !
Sorry to barge in on this thread but I think its also relevant to mine a little further down. I think my agreement is unenforceable for the same reason but would like some advice if possible. My debt is still with Egg, would the letter above be suitable for me to send them if I adapt it slightly?
Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !
Yes kirklanw
Your agreement is identical so you could send Egg the same letter suitably modified

I trust you will now be in a position to reduce the balance on this account to £0 and remove any default that you have registered with any credit reference agency as required by the Data Protection Act 1984 since it is obviously incorrect as no agreement existed between me and Egg. If you refuse, I will commence court proceedings against you under s14 of the Data Protection Act 1984.

Thanks so should I say they should ask egg to remove the default markers or just not bother mentioning that at all ?

If I were you, I would definitely be mentioning that you want the Default removed by EGG - the debts aren't half as much as a problem as the Defaults. In my humble opinion, anyway

Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !
Hi, could somebody possibly confirm that this part of the letter as underlined below refers to the incorrect heading on the agreement.
If so I think we have established in other threads that this only applies to post 2005 agreements ?
Thanks
