Egg's demise - who now has my account?

Options
Hi all

I had a loan with Egg which I defaulted on in 2008. I repaid all owed funds shortly after. Soon after this, Egg banking were disbanded and accounts were divided between a number of organisations.

Annoyingly, incorrect information about my Egg loan is showing on my credit reference. As such, I need to contact my new provider to have this remedied. However, I don’t know which company took on my account.

Does anyone know how to find out this information? Unfortunately I don’t still have my account/reference number. If someone has the list of banks, I’d be happy to contact them all.

Thanks in advance!!
Tim

    Who is the account listed under on your credit file?

    Are you saying that the loan was paid off and the account closed before the sales/transfers took place? If so, then you may find yourself in a bit of no mans land, where old and new companies all deny it is their responsibility any more.

    What exactly is incorrect on your file?

    Have you entered a dispute via the CRA? They at least should have a contact (possibly wrong now) for them to query the entry via.

  • The account is still listed as Egg Banking PLC on Experian.

    You're correct that the loan was paid off before the transfers. I do hope that the new company took on accountability for Egg's heavy handed tactics. However, knowing the wonderfully kind nature of banks, I somehow doubt it!

    Thanks everyone!
