Have you cracked the Egg Michael?

 

Not quite - but I feel that there may be some soft poaching coming up soon....

I intend to scramble Egg in 2007.They've picked on the wrong person

It'd be amazing if they actually paid for confidentiality - but I'd have to delete most of this thread

 

 

Dear Lord, no! Confidentiality would apply to the agreed terms ofyour settlement once you had been paid, and would not apply to anything retroactively. Basically, we'd expect your thread to end abruptly with no further updates from date of payment, certainly not to have your previous posts deleted!!!!

 

*shakes head in sorrow* Michael, Michael, Michael, have you learnt NOTHING from us????

sorry to dive in but I have been offered full settlement for 2 cases against egg by messers addleshaw goddard. I hope you dont mind mcuth but I stole your letter saying no to confidentiality and asking for £500 if they want me to be quiet.... lets see what happens

Hi Michael,

 

I have just received exactly the same letter as you, save for the claim amount. However, mine is from Addleshaw Goddard (law firm) as opposed to Egg's John Murphy.

 

Love AC

Ahhh, I getcha - always wondered about that since I'd not really taken much notice of it before

Obviously not , though I plead stupidity in my defence

I don't mind at all - anyone's free to use any of the info I post up here - good luck with it

Interesting - hadn't seen much mention of them before...

 

I haven't heard anything over Xmas, though they signed for the letter on Friday 22nd - hopefully that means they're just writing the cheque

 

Cheers

Still haven't heard anything from Mr Murphy, even allowing for the Xmas post & possible office closure over the holidays. So, am dropping him this little reminder....:

 

Dear Mr Murphy

 

In the Swindon County Court

{mcuth} v Egg Banking PLC

Claim Number: 6SN02736

Further to my letter of 21st December, 2006, which was received at your offices the following day (22nd December).

I note from my records that I am yet to receive any form of a response to the above letter.

Whilst I noted that “I am happy for this letter to be treated as my agreed acceptance under the above conditions. If you accept these conditions, then I see no need for revised offer documents to be sent, and look forward to receiving your cheque by return.” – I have received neither a cheque, nor any correspondence stating that the conditions were unsatisfactory. I believe that 3 weeks is a more than acceptable timeframe to allow for such a response, even allowing for the holiday period inbetween.

You will also appreciate that we are now over 2 weeks outside your original settlement offer expiry date of 28th December and thus interest due should now be recalculated. I suggest that using a nominal date of 31st January 2007 would be acceptable for this.

I look forward to hearing from you by return.

Yours sincerely,

{mcuth}

 

 

Cheers

Hmmm!

 

Michael, Egg are very quiet...!?

 

I wonder what they are up to now.

 

Personally speaking, I am quite happy to go to Court on 29/01/2007, because Humpty Dumpty has dragged out the process for so long...and I feel sure that any Judge would take an extremely dim view:( about their tactics towards Egg customers.

Yeah, they are very quiet at the mo - wonder what's happening down there. I wouldn't mind going to court either, but for the sake of :rolleyes:

Received a reply from Mr Murphy today - apparently the cheque was despatched by Recorded Delivery just before Christmas and the Royal Mail say it was delivered & signed for on 10th January (though they aren't able to say who signed for the letter!). Obviously I haven't received anything, so there's something fishy going on here....would love to know what's happened there

 

Anyway, Mr Murphy says that if they can't find the cheque by the end of this week, they'll cancel the original and reissue - oh, and they'll recalculate interest accordingly

 

Cheers

 

Michael

[angry cat]

Whats happening Michael-

Has your cheque arrived yet?

[mcuth]

No cheque arrived as yet - I guess I'm just waiting for the process of cancelling & reissuing to go through. Mr Murphy did say that if the cancel & reissue was required, he'd recalculate the interest....

 

Cheers

Hi Mcuth,

 

did you ask them for the recorded mail reference number from the original cheque they claimed to send?

 

[mcuth]

did you ask them for the recorded mail reference number from the original cheque they claimed to send?

 

I didn't need to - they volunteered it as part of the letter advising that the cheque had previously been sent.

 

TBH, I believe them. Whilst solicitors may have a bad image, and might appear to slip & dodge - mostly under client's instruction - I don't believe that they deliberately lie, especially over something as innocuous as a cheque being dispatched

 

Cheers

Da-da-daaaaaaaaaaaaa

Just caught the postman before leaving for work this morning - 1 cheque for £87.69 received via Special Delivery

 

Now, I reckon I know why it didn't arrive before - there was a digit missing from the flat number

 

Anyway, all done & dusted now - just the "case settled" letters to court & Mr Murphy to write

 

Cheers

 

Michael

Bringing it all to a close, here's my letter from Egg:

Dear {mcuth}

 

Re: Your Egg account XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Please find enclosed a cheque payment for £87.69 {yes folks, that's how much this almost 10-month long saga's been for }, this is for repayment of charges and interest.

 

If there is anything in this letter that you wish to discuss or needs further explanation, please don't hesitate to contact me using the contact details at the side of this letter. Alternatively, my direct number is XXXXX XXX XXX ext XXXX.

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Sir/Madam

 

{mcuth} v Egg Banking PLC – claim number 6SN02736

 

Please be advised that today I have received a cheque from the Defendant in settlement of the above claim. I therefore consider that the claim is now satisfied in full and respectfully request that proceedings are discontinued accordingly.

 

Yours faithfully

Dear Mr Murphy

 

In the Swindon County Court

{mcuth} v Egg Banking PLC

Claim Number: 6SN02736

 

I can now confirm that I have received your cheque in the sum of £87.69 in full & final settlement of the above claim – thank you.

 

I suspect that the reason for the original cheque going missing is now clear – the accompanying letter (copy enclosed) was addressed to me at XX XXXXXXX XXXX, not XXX XXXXXXX XXXX. It was only by chance this morning that I bumped into the Special Delivery postman who was wondering which doorbell to press on my block of flats!

 

As promised, I have today written to Swindon County Court advising them that the claim is settled, and enclose a copy of same for your reference.

 

Many thanks.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

{mcuth}

Cheers
