Default Jimbo v Abbey
Hi all. Wonder if anyone can advise me on this.

I've sent the Subject Access Request to Abbey with reference to my old account with them which went from about 1993-1999. They sent me a poxy little single page listing a few transactions and few charges and kind of said 'that's your lot son.'.

So I did them for Data Protection Act breach in court and received their defence today. They state that they cannot provide the earlier information because they don't store it.

Is this a valid defence? Is there a way of going after them with estimated charges? Anyone help?

Many thanks!

Default Re: Jimbo v Abbey
Hi

This was posted on my Abbey thread


Abbey will say that they only keep records as far back as 6 years from today, and after the new regulations came in from last December, that is all they are obliged to keep, so dont expect anything from before Feb 2002, but you might get lucky

Hope it helps

Tilly
