Sent Data Protection Act letter and today received a load of information. Most of it's useless, but there is an itemised list of payments.

They've charged a total of £67 for not paying va direct debit and £40 in late payment charges :o

What do you think my chances are of getting this lot back

I got my Data Protection Act request today 6 years of telewest bills.
I am looking at whether I need to go to arby first as Telewest say.

Because I have both spoken to them on the phone and sent 3 e mails which I have replies from,and they refuse to disclose manual intervention costs then I see no reason for arbitration I am going to send them a prelim letter once I have added it all up.

I know they keep telling me ofcom have agreed to their fixed charges but they would do..............its the Telephone companies that pay for ofcom !!
