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.
;) HI I sent off the Data Protection Act LETTER with the £10 cheque For the statements for an account that is closed.
I received a letter today stating that it is not possble for them to trace the account without the account number and sort code whether the account is open or closed.Because they use only numeric code for the identification of accounts.
where do i go from here?
Hi SB, I had the same problem with a closed account and I still had an active account with them. Can I ask, are you still with RBS elsewhere (ie another account)? Have you changed addresses since it was closed?
If my post has been useful, tip my scales and let me know
Why don't you ring them out of the blue and ask them if they can locate your account number? If they ask why then feed em some crap like you need to confirm payments you sent to someone during the period your account was open (or something believable lol).
I guess you will be able to give them the sort code, the date it was closed and your details / address etc. You could probably even try in the branch you were in.
I can't believe for one minute they can't find you - think this is more likely to be delaying tactics than anything.

I'm trying to do the same thing for my girlfriend.
She has lived at the same address, and went into her old bank and asked for her old account number and they said no.
Is there any legal jargon my girlfriend can hit them with to get her old account number?

I have lived at the same address all my life.

HI I have sent the first letter and the £10 for the statements,

trace and identify accounts whether open or closed.
I have lived at the same address for the past 20 yrs.

And sort code, otherwise they can't help, time is running out what can i do now?Any Ideas please?
Hi
This is were I'm stuck? I had an account with RBS which due to excessive charges ended up being passed on to a debt agency.
I paid this up in full about 3 years ago.I dont have the account number or sort code But still live at the same addresss.Anyway I sent off the data access request on 23rd oct with the name and address of the agency. REF number and the £10 recorded delivery
I am being fobbed of by them saying that without this information they cannot help with my request.
please advise?????? Do I send a non compliance letter now?
I was in a similar position with Lloyds. I popped into my local branch with my passport, NI number and address history and they gave me the sort code and account number there and then.
Sent my SAR, and they have responded saying they will furnish me with the info but that I will need to pick it up from my local branch as my home address is now different.
Hope this helps.

The problem I have is the branch isn't there anymore,so I cant
do that, Any more Ideas. I even got in touch with the debt agency but they said they do not have the account numbers {data protection]
The 40 DAYS is almost up what do I do now?
When you say the debt company 'does not have number [data protection]' do you mean that they are claiming they can't give you them under data protection or that they haven't actually got them for your protection?
hi The debt company says they dont have the bank account number or sort code.even though the debt was passed to them.They say they never have the bank details, against the [data act] cause this is your personal information. Do you get what i'm saying? what now thanks
Gotcha...Well I would try the Passport/NI/ID method at the next nearest branch, on the basis that they probably got all the business from your branch when it closed. Or you could ask customer services where the business was moved to....
