Mr XXXXX XXXXXX Account Number xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx (Closed)


Please send me the information which I am entitled to access under Section 7(1) of the Data Protection Act 1998 (the ‘1998 Act’) in relation to all charges which you have applied to my above noted account within the last 6 years from the date of this letter.

Additionally where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any member of your staff or any other person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my banking business with you. If you are unable to supply data relating to manual intervention because there has been no such manual intervention then please be kind as to confirm this in your response to this request.

If you require any further information please let me know as soon as possible.

I enclose a cheque in favour of your bank in the sum of £10 with respect to the maximum statutory fee for processing this request.
Furthermore, if I discover that you have levied disproportionate penalties against me then I shall be reclaiming them and also reclaiming the enclosed £10 DPA disclosure fee.

DPA request -statement received 12 05 06

Have looked through all statements - NO charges-which is correct as card was taken out whilst we had severe financial problems as interest free card. maxium advance initially went through payment plan with CCCS now paying £6.00 per week through collection agency with no charges or interest being add.They are one of the few creditors who did not accept a reduced payment in full & final settlement so continue to pay £6.00 per week (all I can afford ).
Had hoped there would be penalty charges to claim in order to settle card. Never mind others to be claimed against.
