Today I have good news, yet another victory for those who choose to fight for what's theirs
I will just briefly give my story, I have been an Egg card holder since 2004 - I certainly never asked for PPI, I never do, so must have fell victim to the pre-ticked boxes. I did actually query it back in 2005 but I'm pretty sure they fobbed me off saying it was some sort of "standard charge"... anyway I cancelled it off earlier this year, I've always been a "good" customer (in Egg's eyes anyway) as I have made full use of the huge credit limit they decided to give me (being young and having a huge credit card limit - bad combination!!).
I wrote a letter at the end of April, got a reply a few days later saying they will look into it etc. I only wrote this as my reason on the letter:
"This is due to the fact that you have been fined by the FSA for failing to treat your customers fairly when selling Payment Protection Insurance and I do not believe that my policy was sold in my best interests."
I was not self-employed or had an existing medical condition, and I know a lot of people have had issues claiming from Egg when it was due to not giving a reason in particular...
... but today, logged in to check my balance and I see they have refunded me £1,643,86!!!
I still have a few grand to clear off my card but this means I only have a couple of months to go 'til I'm debt FREE!!! HOORAY!
I only had to send the one letter, and have not even had a letter back from them yet - so I think after I have cleared the card I will request a SAR just to make sure I got everything I was owed
Just want to say a big thank you to this forum, I'm now considerably less in debt thanks to you guys - and anyone reading this wondering if they can get their "card repayment protector BS" back, DO IT!!!

Hi All,
I am attempting to reclaim PPI for a loan I took with EGG back in 2000. They have refused my claim saying that I took this loan out on-line, when I stated that the option must have been pre-ticked - they are denying this. I am 95% certain that I did not opt for this policy as it was a bridging loan to tide me over until a lump sum of money I was due to get 3 months after I took out the loan. Does anyone know if EGG did pre-tick the PPI option? Anyone had a successful claim? I have accessed a website archive and can see that the loan application page is not available, but the loan calculator page is with PPI pre-ticked! Thanks, look forward to any feedback.0 -

Thanks amersalll, I will go direct to FOS now as EGG have told me they will not respond to any more of my letters! I only wrote twice, don't think they liked the contents of my second letter as I was very detailed in what happened and questioned whether the option was pre-ticked - I will keep you updated. Thanks again0
