I'm just saying it sounds like legal CYA. Consider [1] defines "you" in the agreement as "The person who applied for this Account and agrees to this Agreement."

I'm just saying it sounds like legal CYA. Consider [1] defines "you" in the agreement as "The person who applied for this Account and agrees to this Agreement." Further down, section 12 specifies that the account automatically moves to a "in default" state if you "Pass away or become incompetent;"
Considering that "you" needs to be notified when their account goes into default, does "you" automatically become "the estate"? Is "the estate" the one who "applied for this Account and agrees to this Agreement"? Can an estate agree to anything?
Is it possible a deceased person would be able to get off the hook for this kind of debt is the agreement isn't followed to the letter by the creditor?

- vertex-four 8y agoThere isn’t anything to do with the person once they die - obviously you don’t need to notify a dead person that they’re dead. The whole mess with simply becoming “in default” is likely outright wrong in the U.K., as there’s a pile of somewhat complex law surrounding what happens to people’s debts when they die.
