They also have complex group structures so that debts can be passed around in cycles- helps them to keep up the harassment.

Have you got an address for Face to Face please. If I want to send a Subject Access Request to Intrum Justicia (who now changed to the above) which name do I use as Intrum was the company name dealing with me initially?

Also with regard to their sending debts round in circles game, where does that leave us in trying to track seperate charges in the process?

If Intrum Jusita have written to you as Intrum Jusitsa then you should continue to address them as that until they tell you otherwise.

I have just received a Data Subject Access Request Form from Face 2 Face in response to my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request), had to search the site to find out who they were!

Interestingly the form contains the following:

Request of proof of identity (passport, driving licence etc)
A statement saying I am the subject and they may have to obtain more detailed information in order to locate the correct information
A note saying the 40 days in which they must respond will not commence until it is satisfied on the above matter.

In other words, they can drag this out as long as they like - don't think so! am I correct?

It's part of the act that "they" have to be certain that it is *you* requesting the data. Something in your original request to the effect of: "as you have previously used this address to correspond, I trust this will be an adequate form of proof" - Although, this is more suited to banks.

It's a 2-sided coin, really - Would you want your private data sent to the wrong person because they didn't make a thorough check first ? But of course, they're quite happy to "say" that you owe them money, and will take it without question - But when you question them, they suddenly need proof...

That's my jaded opinion!

Also quite strange that they were happy to send me a letter showing outstanding balance two weeks ago but now are unsure if they can send me the details of how they got to that figure!

Question Re: DCAs changing names

As I've said before on here somewhere, how can they chase you for a debt, and threaten court, bankruptcy, 'prison', etc., but need ID to make sure that you are who you are when you question them? Surely where there's doubt there's no debt...?
