Dear Sir or Madam,
According to this BBC news article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7252...
in February last year, the NCC (now Consumer Focus) asked the OFT
to launch an investigation into potentially unfair terms in EULAs.
I presume this means that the NCC made a complaint under section 10
of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. I would
like to request:
1. a copy of the NCC's complaint letter
2. a copy of any correspondence between the OFT and the NCC and
between the OFT and the respondents in relation to the complaint
3. if the complaint has been decided, a copy of the OFT's letter
informing the NCC of its decision as to whether the terms are
potentially unfair, and the statement of reasons it is required to
produce under section 10(2) of the UTCCRs.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Collingbourne
