Sent my first requests to
Egg
(Green) and Egg (Blue) on 23rd February. Received replies to both today offering to pay back the difference between the £20 charges and the now reduced charge of £16.
Green Card
Requested £412 + £44.94
interest
Offered £78 and no interest
Blue Card
Requested £140 + £15.80 interest
Offered £28 and no interest
They also say in their response letter that the OFT indicated that it would not proceed further against Egg on the basis that Egg reduced its charged from £20 to £16 voluntarily. I still think this is far too high.
Haven't noticed anything about Egg's reaction to reclaiming bank charges so far!!
Does anyone else agree and should I proceed to stage 2 and send them a 'court action' letter.
Also, is there a risk they could close my accounts and demand that the current balances be cleared immediately?
