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.
Further to realising that Barclays owe me £2k, I sent Data protection letters to Lloyds x2, Mint, Marbles, Tesco and Barclaycard along with £10 cheques for each.
Lloyds debited £10 from my account for copy statements and haven't sent my cheque back...pah!
Mint and Tescos have sent me letters acknowledging receipt of the cheque (and have paid it in) and say they will post me the statements within the 40 day timescale.
Marbles haven't done anything yet.
Barclaycard sent me statements back as far as May 2004 and want to charge me £3 per statement going back before this date as they claim they are stored on Microfiche and as such are not "readily accessible" within the meaning of the Data Protection Act.
Can I use the ICO verdict on the Abbey's claim about Microfiche and sent a letter to Barclaycard demanding the statements?

There's no harm in doing so. I'm also waiting on the "microfiche" statements from BC and I've written to them pointing out the Abbey situation. However so far I've not even received an acknowledgement of my letter.
It's worth pointing out that the ICO decided that the way that Abbey utilise their microfiche makes it a "relevant filing system"; the ICO have not given a blanket verdict on all microfiche filing systems and BC may well argue that they utilise the microfiche differently to Abbey.

With reference to your letter of the 26th October in which you advised me that microfiched archives are not covered by the Data Protection Act and therefore not subject to the 40 day ruling.
I am sure you are aware that the Information Commissioner recently found against Abbey on microfiche disclosure and that these archives are indeed subject to the 40 day ruling. I would therefore, be grateful if you could expedite delivery of the requested data to me at the above address.

Fianlly got all my statements and sent them a letter requesting £355. They replied and credited my card with £155 saying that was the difference between £12 and £25. Please can someone advise me on how I claim the rest?
I am thinking of sending an lba saying thanks for the partial repayment but I would like the remaining amount of £200 in 7 days or I will take court action.
