    Default Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !

    Typical Eggicon 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.

    Default Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !

    I would write and tell Collect Direct that Eggicon 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 finalicon settlement as a gesture of goodwillicon (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.

    Default Re: Response to our Egg CCA request - Please Help !

    How about this:-

    Dear CD

    Thank you for you letter dated XXXXXX, unfortunately Eggicon 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 finalicon 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.

    Cosalt


    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 ?

    Thanks

    Might it be better to state you will pay them monthly? Instead of saying 2k as a goodwill gestureicon, 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.

    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

    I thik cadencalex is correct. If they refuse the gesture of goodwillicon, you could probably not pay them anything at all. Don't take that course without advice though and certainly not on mine alone.

    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 ?

    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 Eggicon, would the letter above be suitable for me to send them if I adapt it slightly?

    http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...questions.html

    There is also a thread for my Egg loan if anyone is able to check the agreement and see if it looks ok (pretty please)

    Your agreement is identical so you could send Eggicon the same letter suitably modified

    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

    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 ?
