New Barclaycard claim

[Fletch2006]

Hi,

I sent my request for charges (I used the standard letter on this site) by 1st class signed for today.

I used the 1 Churchill place address in London.

However I didn't include a cheque for £10 and was just wondering if I should re-send the letter & include a cheque or wait & see if I get a reply requesting the £10 or will they simply ignore?

Has anyone received details of charges free of charge?

Any replies would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Fletch

Barlcays usually return your cheque anyway and say they will send the info requested soon...I forgot to include mine (genuine) when I sent my Subject Access Request request, total lapse in concentration that day...they wrote a standard letter to let me know the request was being processed but that I didnt include my £10.00 as I stated, you can wait and see of send it under seperate cover with a copy of the letter, personally I would wait, as they seem to process Subject Access Request requests foc anyways!

	Subject Access Request A Subject Access Request is a demand which you can make to any organisation to disclose any personal information which they hold on you. The right to disclosure of data is provided by the Data Protection Act. There is no time limit. The organisation is obliged to reveal everything they have about you - which you ask for - as far back as you ask for. There are very few exceptions. It does not matter whether the data is held on microfiche, in an archive, on tape, in a cardex system, in sound recordings or in screen notes. Some companies are saying that they do not have to disclose where it would be difficult to do so - "disproportionate effort". This is untrue. Disproportionate effort refers to something else under the Act. If you are seeking bank charges information then you should ask for "all data held on you" and you should make it clear that you want everything as far back as it goes. Do not be put off by excuses. Do not accept being fobbed off. It is not in your bank's interest to make full disclosure to you. This means that it is in your interests to get it. If you have not started gathering your bank charges information yet, then you should start now. There will soon be a big rush once the OFT test case has been settled. Get all of your bank account informtion as far back as possible. At least as far back as 1995. If your bank says that they don't keep data as far back as this, don't accept it. Be persistent. They've got what you need in some form or other.

Hi there
i received 6 years backdated bank statements through post for myself and husband forall our accounts from barclays free of charge and within 7 days of requesting them,
Hope this is helpful to you

I got the usual response. Got all statements going back to May 2004. They said older statements were stored on some type of ancient storage system and were not accessible! (microfiche). I totalled about £360 for the statements they sent.

Anyway im going to randomly select some just a couple of months & send £3 for each one, Ive got a feeling I didnt start getting fined until around May 04 anyway but just want to check.

P.S. Anyone claiming against EGG?
