Housing Association - Can I S.A.R?

bonnieday · 25th May 2007, 15:50

Hi,

Having major problems with my housing association.

I have rent arrears of £700 and now they are saying that I owe them £3700.

£3000? Thats a huge difference which no-one can account for. I have no idea where it has come from.

Is it possible to send them a S.A.R to get my last 6 years of rent statements?

Thanks

Yes, it is possible.

Because, as an organisation that stores data about individuals, it has an obligation to provide you with whatever information it holds under the Data Protection Act.

How far can you go back to get a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request)?

You can go back as far as they have information about you. There are no time limits although a lot of organisations will delete records after a (fairly long) period of time.

To be successful in court the HA will have to prove that the debt exists, so will have to show you how you accrued the 'missing' £3000.

Can you PM me which HA it is please?
