Egg makes a standard response to SAR, offering the customer 3 choices:
(1) £5 for a computer listing of past penalty charges
(2) £5 for full reprint of past monthly statements going back 6 years
(3) £10 for an one-inch-high pile of paper prints on everything they maintained on computer for this account.
Options 1 and 2 would take no more than a week or two. Option 3 could take up to 6 weeks, especially as we are entering July the peak staff holiday season.
Egg are also likely to request a photocopy of passport or drivers licence, and an original utility (not copy) returnable. If quick resolution is a priority, best to include the documents to save another exchange of letters. Egg normally repays penalty charges without stalling or waiting for lawsuit.
