Hi
Just starting on this road after successfully claiming off other banks/credit card providers. Thought I'd leave Egg till last as although I'm not sure if I have had any penalty charges I'm keen to see if PPI was correctly applied.
I just thought I'd start this thread to keep track of things.
it doesn't mention anything about a statement of account (is this just for loans) can't see a cancellation box...
doesn't mention anything about PPI so this is why I've asked for a SAR request too.

I think as they've 'signed' it prior to it being sent out, they haven't included the cancellation box. CC agreements (someone correct me if I am wrong) don't actually need to be cancellable.
The prescribed terms seem to be present (title, interest rates, credit limit, payment frequency, signatures etc) so I think it is a goer.
One thing I don't particularly like about this way of doing things is that the signature from them is printed, and they are not legally bound by it (allegedly) even though it is executed as soon as you sign it. The lack of a financial statement means they haven't complied with the s78 request.
On first sight this looks like it is enforceable, sorry.....
No problem, thanks for your input m55dlc - I'm actually after them for PPI as I wouldn't have requested it and thankfully I've got my card balance to zero thanks to a few other banks paying out.

The copy agreement from Egg shown above has all the prescribed terms and other required info/statements so IMO is the real deal! Agreed there doesn't seem to be a notice about cancellation rights but this could be due to the circumstances in which the agreement became executed.
I also have an Egg card with an agreement like this. Egg appear to be the ONLY CC that actually produces a 'real' credit agreement.
If there should have been a notice of cancellation rights, but this hasn't been dealt with in any copy of the agreement (e.g. the copy that you actually received to keep - referred to at the top of doc.) then this could be an issue but I suspect it was done!
Either way, the letter I drafted for Kenny's circumstances is not applicable here as this IS an agreement.
If you asked for the separate statement of account then I would write and remind them to send it.

How is this different from my mums one? my mums one has signatures, right to cancel, and a table of APR, says it will produce statements monthly.
so confused now!
Hi
The prescribed terms, i.e. credit limit, interest rate and repayment details MUST be on the actual document that you sign for it to be enforceable.
In the signed document you posted up, there are none of these!
They may be in the separate T&Cs they sent you a copy of but this does not comply with the Act.
In the copy Egg agreement posted above, these prescribed terms are all there in that signature doc.

I get the feeling we are in the same boat? Looks exactly like mine. Have they sent you the 'screen shot' yet? Did you apply online
Hi Phil
yes I did apply online, I've been following your threads - I've sent a SAR too, so if I don't receive any mention of PPI in it - I'll get back onto Egg asking where the hell is the PPI request - I think there are a lot of people in the same boat as us!

My husband got his CCA request from Egg - exactly the same as yours but he got a statement of account as well. We have already received full compliance of the SAR from egg and what a bundle it was !! We had to fight for it though - it was after the 40 days. egg supply everything - screen shots of all calls etc and copies of letters. However, no where in this massive bundle was there anything relating to the PPI. We had been charged for about 2 years when obviously we must have realised we could cancel it. So, the PPI amount has been included in my schedule of charges to egg. lba due soon, and no mention from them of the PPI. If they do have anything relating to this PPI, then they have not complied fully with my SAR. By the way they are horrible to deal with!
Thats very interesting. I am awaiting a response from them, after they failed to comply fully with my SAR. I wrote back stating information was missing. They have until the 3rd April to respond before they are in breach of the Data Protection Act.
Ajjars, did this happen to your husband? What exactly was involved with your 'fight' for the information after the 40days?
Great there are other people on the forum in this situation with them...
Might be good to start PPI threads in PPI forum? Whats the consensus? I'm mentioning my PPI case with Egg, through the Egg forum. That way, Egg users and PPI users can see information that could be useful to them both.
Basically any letters we received in reply to the dispute stated that they still needed I.D. and that the 40 Days would not start until they had received it. Our response was, well the secure messaging has been sufficient in the past to send/receive data and that they were using this as a stalling tactic. We point blank refused to send I.D on this principle. A response to our "complaint" stated that they would not send the information until the I.D had been received and they would not enter into any more correspondence with us , but by this time we had already received it. It took around 7 or 8 letters and emails to get them to comply tho, and the threat of complaints to all and sundry (which will be sent once we have received our refund). And it was around 10 days late. As far as Egg are concerned now they have washed their hands of us and no longer wish to deal with us. We have this in writing. Arrogant s**ts!

for a Boots Advantage CC, powered by Egg.
The similarity between my alleged agreement and yours is that ther is no credit limit!

Mine has a different pre printed signature-

I have already written back to Egg stating that they have not complied as all the prescribed terms are not present and that I consider the doc. to be an application form.
Of course, my letter has been ignored!
I am also going after Humpty for mis-selling of PPI

I hope the above may be helpful to you.
Love AC
I think the credit limit sentence you've quoted is actually a goer as far as credit limits are concerned - sorry to be the bearer of bad news AC
I think that you will find the same or similar wording is written under No.3 Limit on Redsues above Agreement.
However, in relation to mine, I am still going to continue to challenge compliance because several of the prescribed items are missing and...
The copy agreement that I was sent is for a Boots Advantage CC which was settled some years ago when Boots ended their affiliation with Egg. My boots Egg card was settled and replaced by an Egg green cc.
Remember ! CCA S85...where is the agreement for the Egg green CC and then I had that changed to an Egg card blue and finally an Egg money card...none of which I requested. Three different type of Egg CC's but I am sent an agreement for a Boots CC.
Sorry to hijack your thread redsue, I've been trying all afternoon to Copy & Paste my agreement onto your thread but I cannot do it...Help, how on earth did you put the image onto your post???

Hi
A credit limit may be expressed as a sum of money or a statement that they will determine it and inform you, so if your agreement has the statement quoted above then they have complied with the 'credit limit' requirement.
