Egg - Close Account

Hi there, sorry to bother you all with such a silly request, but I have managed to pay off everything I owed on my egg card. I have now tried searching for information on their website on how to close my account, but there seems to be nothing.

So does anybody know how I can go about calling them to get it closed? I.e. a number or something.

Thankyou all very much in advance!

Ry

    Think in most cases you'll need to write to credit card companies to close account and the address will be somewhere on a statement from egg

    What? Not even anything in "Condition 20. Ending this agreement" in the small print. ;)

    See above, but use www.saynoto0870.com to find a cheaper number.

    @ 20. Ending this Agreement

    20.1 If you are not happy about your choice of Account, let us know within 14 days of sending your completed Agreement back to us and we will cancel your Agreement. If you want to cancel your Agreement then you should call us on 08451 233 233. You can also write to Egg Account Servicing, Point North, Waterfront West, Dudley, DY5 1LU, or you can send us a secure e-mail from our website. You should quote your Card number in all correspondence. If you cancel your Agreement, you must repay what we have lent you, and pay all interest and charges applying before cancellation, taking into account any amounts you have already paid to us, within 30 days of cancellation and must cut in more than two pieces and throw away all the Cards we gave to you or an Additional Cardholder. If you do not cancel your Agreement, your Account will remain open until your Agreement is ended in accordance with this Condition 20. You may have extended cancellation rights in certain circumstances. If you do cancel your Agreement, and you exercise those rights, you will still have to pay everything you owe us for the period up to cancellation, including interest and charges.
