British Internet bank Egg said Saturday it is terminating about 160,000 customers' credit card agreements, saying their credit profiles had deteriorated.
A British lawmaker called the move unfair, and said Egg's decision should be investigated.

"Egg has given a number of its credit-card customers 35 days' notice that it is ending their card agreements," the bank said in a statement. Egg …
