Before actually selecting an option, maybe its much better to analyze and realize what you got yourself into. Somebody said in this thread that its the "get out of the denial stage". That it is indeed too good to be true.
Im not too sure about this but I believe EG guarantees the return of your capital (at least) within 20 days. So in that sense, if EG is willing to comply with that agreement, you are not bound to lose your money at all. I wouldnt even call it a high risk investment if thats the case. Its like a savings account with 7-11% monthly interest and withdrawable within 20 days.
A contract is made so that you can enforce somebody to do their part. If somebody has breached a contract, your logical recourse is to report this to the authority and/or file a court case.
It is indeed a contract term - I had to enforce this last year when I withdrew... So yes regardless of what EG say, it is clearly stated in their terms, hence the reason why they are holding any release hostage until you sign their 'new, amended' terms and conditions, which from what I have been told by colleagues still in the scheme - that there will be no firm date for any payments...
If you are happy with signing a document that gives you absolutely no advantages or assurances that your monthly profits or capital are to be repaid in a timely manner - please go ahead. I certainly wouldn't be doing it though.
