Statement Requests Under Data Protection Act

[Lotta Littlies]

I did ask under another thread but thought we could all add to this thread when we have received our statements as promised by the first standard reply from LloydsTSB, perhaps by putting the date we made our original request under the Data Protection Act followed by the date of receipt of the statements,
eg:

Date of original request: 01/02/06
Date of receipt : 10/02/06
Time taken : 9 days

This will allow anyone further behind in the process to gage how long it will approximately take (even though in said letter LloydsTSB state "within 3 weeks".

I know it's off topic, so may be moved to General or Everything Else maybe, but...

I had a similar idea - I was thinking about how to set it up.

If you have a look here www.bankactiongroup.co.uk - there is a dummy table (the second in the middle section) - in it there is a column for the amount of time it has taken a particular bank to comply with the Data Protection Act.

Do you think this would be a good idea? Any idea how I can get this information - I was thinking of making a small form to fill in, but this would require a lits of ALL banks (or maybe just the major ones) - not sure, ideas on a postcard please...

Probably the easiest way would be to create a sticky thread like this on each of the individual bank forums here and once a list of people have added to it calculate the average time to comply for each then the results add to a table like that one.

Or something like that

However it works I think it'd be a handyreference to have.
