can I claim additional costs?

[sinon]

After reading the forum extensively, I am aware that it is expected that each will pay their own costs to pursue a claim through the county court. Whilst I accept this in principal, can I claim additional costs to help motivate TSB ??

I have currently been waiting 56 days for information under the Data Protection Act. Despite numerous promises it will be delivered, it never does.

The time taken to pursue this request has become considerable, and I feel it only fair for them to cover supplementary costs involved.

Regards, Simon.

Hi Sinon.

Did you send the Data Protection Act SARS letter to get your details, and did you enclose the £10.00 fee ?
If so, they have 40 days to comply, which is up so letter to the Information Commissioner's Office is called for.

Information on the above can be found here.....

If you did not send a Data Protection Act Subject Access Request letter (with £10.00 fee, then DO IT NOW.

Hi Rooster,
yes I did send a Subject Access Request letter using a template from this site. I took it to my local branch and insisted on a receipt. I have sent numerous reminders, however despite their promises I have only received some information (twice), but sadly not a list of my charges.

Regards, Simon.
