  1. Hi all I have two interim charging orders from 6 years ago for Egg credit cards which have now been transferred to Barclaycard. I suspect that Barclyacard don't have all/any of the paperwork and I have made a SAR to Barclaycard. If it dos turn out that they don't have my records can I use this to get the interim orders set aside? Thanks
  2. I previously had an Egg card which was taken over by Barclaycard with new card etc issued. The account is completely online and is paid off fully by direct debit. Statements are intermittent and not always notified by email. I have been hit by overlimit charges on several occasions - something which Egg also did whereas other card companies do not authorise transaction. I know that Egg managed to justify such a charge with the FOS by some means so there is little point in making a complaint there. £12 seems an excessive charge for what is an automated process Has anyone any experience of these charges and any challenges to them? Any success in small claims court?
  3. Egg/B'card/Marlin - I will give an overview, but may be better to just skip to the end... I had an account with Egg. 1st problem Egg took direct debit of too much and took it twice in 2 days. Complained, and I got a half hearted sorry; but it cost me bank charges so I cancelled the DD and paid by cheque from then on. Even though I was paying they harassed me and sometimes phoned me 3 times day (the staff were lovely - they thought because my name was unisex they could make weak puns and just be extremely rude to me each time they called.), even after I sent the usual 'only dealing in writing', 'don't phone me' and eventually reporting them to the police and FSO. Police and FSO did nothing calls kept coming. Work circumstances changed, and eventually I was struggling to pay. At which point, I started going through the claim back charges and CCA routine. (AS I had heard that their CCA may be invalid, not that I don't want to pay my debts, but they had harassed me and caused me so much harm, I would have been happy to see them without their money - I feel I could/should have sued them for much more.) I had printed off my agreement when I first signed up, and what they sent me was a totally different document. I used the internet 'way back engine', and they had just copy pasted a CCA from about 18 months after I had signed up and appended a screen shot of a tick box with my name next to it. I complained...then it was transferred to Barclaycard, still unresolved. Now Marlin. I replied to a letter of theirs, I had no idea it was about the Egg card. I replied with a 'prove it' - nothing. I again wrote and CC'd to trading standards and the SOA, and belatedly I got a letter with no proof, just telling me that it referred to an Egg account. I replied stating that their letter did not provide any proof, and that without that forthcoming, I would not enter into any further correspondence. I basically said that I did not know them from Adam, and as such saw no reason to give any personal details. Today I got a letter saying that they will come to visit me to 're-establish contact'. I will send the 'do not come to my property letter'. But what does this say about the situation regarding Marlin's Egg cards: do we know if they have the documentation? As I have asked for proof and they have acknowledged this and not provided any, surely they could not take me to court? Are they just fishing?
  4. Beware of this company Good Egg creative communications D J Higginbottom. We paid them via a website to carry out some design & print work. The work was never carried and this company failed to respond to any emails. We left a negative review on the website Good Egg creative communications simply deleted there profile and re opened a new profile with a slightly different name. This guy is definitely not a Good Egg he is a rotten EGG.

  6. Hi there. I just wondered if someone could advise me with regards to PPI claims. I opened an account with Egg in 2001 with regards to an Egg loan and a credit card. I believe that I was paying PPI on both, however I do not have records of these accounts. In 2005 I entered a DMP and finished paying off all my creditors by December 2009. Do you think it is possible if I can claim mis sold PPI from back then and how would I go about asking Egg for an SAR seeing as they are no longer trading? I see they were taken over by Barclays and Yorkshire building society. I also had a Barclayloan and credit card however I still have paperwork for these so I still have account numbers for these. These were taken out in 2003 and 2004. Is there a time limit to PPI claims? Thanks for any advice given, it would be much appreciated.
  7. Anyone had the standard fob off letter by Egg so took it to the FOS and won?
  8. Hi Everyone, I'm not sure where my original post have gone to, so a brief background. I have been trying to obtain information from Barclaycard for an old Barclaycard, opened 2001 and closed in 2005. In addition to this, I am also doing the same for an old Egg card taken out in Oct 2004 and defaulted in 2006 and I'm still paying off. My mission started in March. I have sent four SAR requests, initially advising that there was no information relating to me on their records. Second attempt included a single statement for the Barclaycard and the details of my repayment plan for the EGG card, I was sent a form that highlighted the dates during which I had PPI on the Barclaycard, but nothing for the EGG card. Also the response stated that as I was requesting information purely for PPI they were returning my £10 and if ther were wrong write back. I had sent a full SAR request, so wrote back advising this. Again, no information was sent as they had no records of me - despite me including their print out of my PPI history (no premiums, just start and end date customer number etc. At this point I phoned and got passed from pillar to post, eventually I was passed to a helpful lady in the EGG collections team who agreed to me faxing the info and she said that she would pass it through their internal post. Today I have received the EGG information, 4 £20 charges and a years premiums of £30ish pm - I cancelled it after the first year. Much to my joy, the EGG application that they sent to me did state "N" against payment protection insurance, so this should be a pretty easy win . It's scarey to see though that at the time I had a salary of £13k, net income of under £900 and they instantly gaem me a £4,000 limit, I'm not sure that that is entirely what I would class as responsible lending!!! I'm still waiting for the Barclaycard information, which I know will contain a lot more charges (3x£20 on the one statement I still have, althought the card limit was only £300 so I dont expect the PPI to be much. I will also be trying to reclaim the Barclaycard FAP premiums as I was bullied into this. Any advice before I proceed?
  9. Hi, it's been a while since I've been on here so apologies if I am a bit slow! I sent a SAR to Egg and I have received the following reply: Thank you for your recent request for an executed copy of the credit agreement for account number XXXXXX with Egg Banking PLC under section 78(1) of the consumer credit act 1974. As the account you refer to is now closed i have to inform you that egg are under no obligation to comply with your request as we no longer have a contractual relationship relating to this account nor are we seaking to enforce any agreement on the account. The right to be provided with this information ended with the closure of the account. Section 78 (3) (a) of the CCA states that Section 78 (1) does not appy where 'no sum is, or will or may become, payable by the debtor' The right to request an executed copy of an agreement is found in part VI of the act, which is entittled 'Matters arising during currency of credit or hire agreements' so where an agreement is no longer current the right to request or be provided with a copy of the executed copy of agreement therefore ceases. Can anyone advise where I go from here?? Surely they are obliged to provide this if I believe I may have been charged for PPI that I woukd not have wanted or needed? Thanks in advance Lisa:-)
  10. hi i recently came across an old egg loan statement which shows an original loan of £9500 and £2090 for repayment protection insurance. i have not had any contact from them since 2010. my problem is if i get in touch with them re the ppi i am in effect giving them my new address. i know egg was bought out by a building society so would the loan balance have been assigned? the original loan was taken out in july 2004. what should i do?
  11. Hi all, I've an old egg credit card that has been in default since June 2007. I've heard nothing about this for years until very recently when I received a letter from Marlin demanding payment. Having read through the related posts on the forum I'm a little confused about my best course of action. The debt is so close to being statute barred that I'm concerned that if I do anything I risk resetting the time clock on it. On the other hand, I don't fancy being taken to court if I don't do anything. Also, the letter I received was to my old address (my parent's place). Marlin don't have my new address yet. Does this have any bearing? So far my plan is: a) Send Marlin a prove it letter and waiting for a reply b) Then send them a CCA request letter and take it from there Does this seem like the right approach? Any other suggestions? Thanks, Jack
  12. First of all, apologies as there is another thread in the Legal Issues forum relating to this. But I wanted to start a new thread specifically to get some feedback on this SAR response from Barclays on an old Egg card. Am currently going through the process of defending a county court claim from Marlin Europe on an old Egg card on the grounds that I placed the account in dispute in 2009 with another DCA (Capquest) who then dropped it. Long story short, I sent Barclays a Subject Access Request and received their reply the other day. This is what they sent. Can anyone advise if they have a proper case against me and why the balance has been showing as £0.00 since Dec 2011?? I assumed that they would have sent me the original credit agreement, all statements detailing transactions, payments, default notices, transfer to DCA's etc etc etc. Well here is what I got.....:- 1. A covering letter which says they have enclosed "copies of information held by Barclaycard" 2. Some info and some jargon busting pages with general info on Credit Scoring, My right to appeal etc. 3. A kind of Glossary of Abreviations and what they all mean, looks pretty standard. 4. Barclaycard Copy Apps - this is a few pages of info like my address, my employer, my salary, my bank details etc that I must have given Egg when I originally applied for the card in 2002 but this is NOT a credit agreement. Just a print off of some info I have given them. 5. Barclaycard Migrated Memos :- A sheet that says "Memo List and Detail" and then gives my name and a credit card number, again - not my number. Then a single line that says "05/11/11 4 CUSTOMER SIGNED UP FOR SMS OR EMAIL ALERTS" and that's it. 6. Finally, and this is where it gets interesting. A bunch of "Copy Statements" from 2nd December 2011 to 2nd May 2013. The first one says the following:- ================================================ CLOSING BALANCE OF LAST STATEMENT 7043.00 CHRGOFF PRCH PRIN BALM, 04 Nov 7043.00 TOTAL OF NEW TRANSACTIONS 7043.00CR ================================================ Then, every other statement for every month until May 13 says this:- ================================================ Present Balance £0.00 Credit Limit £0.00 Minimum payment due £0.00 Purchase interest 1.356% CLOSING BALANCE OF LAST STATEMENT 0.00 TOTAL OF NEW TRANSACTIONS 0.00 ================================================

  14. I've got a small claim ongoing for PPI from an old egg CC. They keep telling me they need proof of my new address to send the cheque out, this being bank or building statement gas/elec bill council tax bill (all dated within the last 2 months) I don't bank in paper other than CC's The gas/elec bills are both online, and if i do have a paper statement, its like 6 months old the council tax is in the wifes name. Last time i send them the following, hoping it would suffice A copy of my UK firearms cert A copy of my UK shotgun cert my last virgin CC statement a copy of my driving licence Now forgive me if i'm wrong, but surely these 4 items prove its my home address. The home office don't give out firearms tickets without some pretty serious checks ! Any ideas how i can move this forward?
  15. HI, Wonder if someone can help me here. I had an egg cc years ago and I know there was ppi on it that i would like to claim back. the problem is I can not find my account number. Does anyone know if they will submit info via an SAR without the account number and just my personal details also what is the address to write to? Many Thanks Gem77
  16. I'm just looking for a little advice or some pointers to other threads with a similar situation. I took out an egg credit card back in 2000. I was pretty useless with the repayments and got into all sorts of trouble and finally I defaulted owing about £3,500. I then didn't hear anything other than the odd letter every 12 months, but I was moving house quite regularly and they never caught up with me. I filed for all my statements years ago and have all the relevant paperwork to now claim back, or reduce the money I owe. I sent the standard claim form off and received a standard response saying at the time the online sales process: Did not require you to take repayment protection insurance as a condition of obtaining the card. Did not provide an advisory service Required you to positively confirm that you wished to purchase this policy during the online application Provided full terms and conditions of the policy and requested you read them before submitting They have now closed the complaint and I have 6 months to raise the complaint with the fos. My questions are Has anyone else had this response and won can anyone provide me with the links to the threads where they have won As I owe £3,500 and by my calculation the PPI + Charges + interest = just over £3,500 can I get the full amount cleared and the black mark on my credit score removed? Many thanks all, I really hope someone can help me as we are expecting our second child and I need to be able to get a mortgage. Thanks
  17. Advise required please. I have just received a citation from a Scottish Solicitor representing Marlin Capital Europe Ltd in respect of a debt to Barclaycard. I have never had a Barclaycard Credit Card or took out an agreement with them. I did have a credit card with Egg which I took out in 2004. I now know that Barclaycard took over Egg Credit Card accounts in 2011. I was making regular payments to Egg until they suddenly stopped sending me statements, and so I then stopped making payments. I never received any further statements or correspondence from Egg for 18 months, then all of a sudden in early 2011 I received a default notice. I was unaware that Egg transferred to Barclaycard, possibly I received notification, but I cannot remember. I then started receiving calls from Marlin regarding Barclaycard. I informed them that I have never had a Barclaycard and refused to discuss matters with them. I have now received a writ from their Scottish Solicitors giving me 21 days to respond. I am based in Scotland. Interestingly in the writ it is stated that I took out an agreement with Barclaycard in 2004, this is an error straight away as it was with Egg. I do not know when I made the last payment to Egg, it was about 4 or 5 years ago and maybe time barred. Should I send a CCA request to the Solicitors or Marlin or both? Is there still time to do so? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
  18. Received a few hundred pounds off them today in compensation following my formal complaint regarding their treatment of me and refusal to only contact me in writing. I'll give them their dues though they swiftly responded to my formal complaint and admitted where they went wrong etc.
  19. Hi All, First post so Hello to all. I have ( had ) an Egg account that I opened in 2003. In 2008/2009, I had financial difficulties and all creditor apart from Egg played ball and accepted F+F offers. Reading this forum it seems this is the norm. Egg accepted my token payments of £1 pm as advised by the CCCS. At some point, Egg decided my £1 wasnt enough and told me they were going to pass on my debt. Im not sure exactly how or when that happened. ..Im getting old and my memory isnt what it was and also, I cant find some of my original paperwork. To cut a long story short, I stopped paying Egg and heard nothing. Fast forward to today when I receive a letter from Apex stating that as requested they have attached a copy of my original agreement from Egg and are asking me to ring them to arrange payment. Whilst I have no intention of ringing them, Im confused as to why I got sent the letter in the first place along with the copy of my agreement. Perhaps they realise I would have asked for it and decided to save time! So my questions are, What do I do from here? and what would normally be accepted by companies such as these if a F+F offer is to be made. Many thanks in advance. jeff.
  20. Defaulted on an Egg CC 6+ years ago, passed onto Cabot in 2008, did the usual with CCA/SAR. I got my SAR stuff through 27 months after requesting it from the DCA who Egg had sold my loan on to. I haven't paid or acknowledged the account for over 6 years, so its SB anyway. I noticed on my statements in the SAR (2009 ish) that there were some strange payments to it - 'DCA Payment - Thank You'. Is this a sneeky trick that DCA's use to keep accounts active? And now they are saying that I have 14 days to pay up or else...yeah right! SB letter on way. And the fact that they have also sent me a copy of my supposed CCA is a joke. The name is wrong, address is missing, no signature. I'd be interested to know what that payment is? Cheers
  21. I am looking to make a claim on my Egg Loan that i took out in 2007 but have since paid off. I have my initial agreement and it has a tick box for the PPI which it said I had to tick and send back, and my original phone call to them was in my opinion quite pushy towards getting that. My main question is though, Egg are now owned by YBS (Yorkshire Building Society) Who do I send a letter/questionnaire to? does it need to go to YBS? I have an old Egg address but imagine that is obsolete now as its from 2007. Do I need to send both a letter and questionnaire? Any help would be appreciated thanks
  22. Ok, I had an Egg card in 2003, it defaulted in about 2005/6, I heard nothing till 2009 then a DCA contacted me I paid them roughly £400 in 2009 ,then I was going to court to have some debts wiped off,(Didn't work) under the credit laws, I heard nothing until recently then Marlin contacted me wanting the £5500 balance on Egg card, is it statue barred as it defaulted in 2006 or because I made payments to a DCA in 2009 is it not????? TIA
  23. Hello, having read a lot of the posts on here I thought I would begin my own so I can keep you up to speed but also get some ideas from other people in the same boat. Brief history as follows: November 2012: SAR sent to BC in with covering payment. Letter sent recorded delivery. Janaury 2013: Log complaint that no SAR recieved, Customer Relations Manager manages to send me statements through post. Still deny ever receiving SAR and payment, told to cancel cheque. February 2013: Statements arrive, not a complete set, and no other SAR information as promised. £10 credit onto card for cost of calls. February 2013: Cheque cashed 82 days after sending it! February 2013: Complaint now passed to higher level. Paperwork is now being "rushed" thorugh due to "delays" March 2013: Letter states that SAR and payment were "not processed by BC correctly" Paperwork will be completed and sent in "2 weeks". £50 credited to my card, even though balance is £0.00!! So thats where I'm at right now, clock is ticking and follow up paperwork already written in anticipation that I wont receive correct and complete paperwork. I have entered the data from the statements I have already received onto the spreadsheet, but without them all, its not really a true estimate of what I can claim for.
  24. Hi, What started as a simple question ended up as a mini novel, so I decided to give you the executive summary here with my questions at the end of the post. I sent a SAR to Canada Square Operations (who handle the Egg PPI claims), received a huge pack of A4 pages and found evidence that PPI had been applied to one of my accounts. Sent in the PPI questionnaire (albeit with the wrong acc no) and received a reply yesterday saying that they reject my complaint as they couldn't find an account where PPI was applied. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few weeks ago I decided to look into whether I could claim back PPI from an old Egg Loan I had in the early/mid 2000s. I hadn't kept any documents so I started with a SAR and after an initial letter saying something like 'we have no records' etc (which from what I read is a standard letter sent out) I received a huge pack of A4 pages and started to look through them. During the time that I had Egg Loans and cards, I had topped up my loan a few times and I had also consolidated my cards and loan. So, looking though this huge pack (of often duplicated pages) I found the relevant entries on loan applications like: Payment Protection, PPIPremium, PPICover Level, and so on. On most of them these were N, 0 and blank respectively, but on one of the applications it was Y, 5071.13 and ASUL (whatever that means, I didn't find any explanation in the paperwork). I was quite sure that I was sold PPI (or some sort of insurance) as I remember having a conversation on the phone when applying for the loan where I was told to get it or 'they' would probably not approve my loan, and now I had the details and was certain it wasn't just my imagination. a couple of weeks ago I sent in the PPI questionnaire with as much information as I could find/remember and yesterday I got a letter (in fact two, one saying that my complain had been received and that I would hear from them within x weeks) saying: "I would like to assure you that I have carried out a full review of your account and all of our records indicate that you have never actually purchased this product, nor has it ever been applied or charged to your account. Therefore, your complaint has not been upheld and has been closed." It does go on to say that it is their final response, however, if I have any additional information to contact them with the details. I thought maybe I wasn't actually paying PPI, but had another look and found a couple of pages I had missed the first time round. One had the Account Number (which I hadn't found when I sent in the PPI questionnaire and instead I had, mistakenly, used the Application Number/PartyID from the Application Report) along with Application Date, Date Opened and more to the point PPI on Account, PPI Cancelled and PPI Cancelled Date. Turns out that I had 3 accounts with only one having PPI on it. Furthermore I found an "Account Information Report" page with various info but also a "Loan PPI Rebate" which detailed the amount I had paid, a Rebate Description (PPI Premium - Egg Loans) various other bits and an Amount Earned (which was the same as Amount Paid". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- my questions are: - Is the rejection letter I received just an effort to fob me off or have I misunderstood what I've found in the documents they sent me? Perhaps their excuse is that I didn't provide the correct account number? (Although it boggles the mind how they could have "carried out a full review" and have missed it? I'm assuming they actually use computers for their "full reviews"!) - Should I reply to them with the correct acc no and see what they say or should I take it straight to the FOS? I just find it extremely distasteful if they are in fact trying it on - especially as if I am correct, then they must know full well that I have paid PPI. Any advice would be most appreciated. Theo
  25. Starting a new thread for this PPI action against Barclaycard. Originally an Egg Card, then taken over by Barclaycard. Card is still active. I am helping a family member with this, so the card is in their name. They never needed or wanted PPI, they were self employed whren the card was opened, and they have phoned once in the past to cancel PPI and were told that they couldn't (hopefully this contact was recorded and will be confirmed if / when the SAR is complied with.) Action so far: 30.11.12 - Sent a SAR and £10 postal order to Barclaycard's Data Compliance Officer. Used one the templates off CAG for the SAR. 03.12.12 - SAR was received by Barclaycard (according to Royal Mail track and trace) 12.12.12 - Barclaycard returned the SAR and postal order, with a standard letter: "Thank you for your request for information under the Data Protection Act. Unfortunately we are unable to process your request due to the reason(s) detailed below: It is possible that the account has been closed for a period of more than 6 years and as a result customer details are no longer retained." Now, given that the card is still active, this is nonsense. As they received the request on 3.12.12, I reckon their 40 calendar days are up on 09/01/13. I am now unsure on the best way to proceed. Should I re-send the original SAR and PO, with a cover letter advising them that the card is active and they are running out of time to reply? Or should I wait until the 40 days are up and send a LBA? Any advice gratefully received!
