Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I can't stress strongly enough from my own experiance how important it is that you send your requests via recorded delivery. I've just spoke to A and L today who claimed they've received nothing from me from weeks on the matter (inc luding the returen of the data protection request pack) was with great satisfaction that I was able to quote the recorded delivcery references!
Also a question. I'm of the opinion that a request under the act does not have to be done via the banks pack. I have a letter from a and l acknowleding my request for data under the data protection act and confirimng that they will deduct the £10 from my account dated the 22nd july. They are now saying that this doesn't count and it is only a legal request under the act if done via their pack (which I also did at a later date by the way - the pack they are saying they have not received!) Can anyone give a legal standpoint on this please? Thanks!

keep fighting the gits!
They are not correct.
You can ask for the information without their pack.
They may require proof of name and proof of address,but that aside,providing that you are specific as to the information that you want,then they have to supply it.
On the question of recorded delivery,you are in a process that involves legal action,and as such should be carried out with proof of posting/delivery at all times.
You should also keep copies/records of all forms of communication whether that be oral or electronic means .
