Have received my letter of reply from Peter Townsend - Data Protection Manager today. Standard letter saying that they will supply me with my copy statements in the next few weeks. Also, gives the blurb about not being required to provide details on manual intervention under the DPA, and they wouldn't have it in the right format covered by the DPA, blah, blah, blah. He does state at the end though that this "is in no way an admission that there was no such manual intervention". He also states that "May we also take this opportunity to inform you that a copy of your letter, and the payment you sent, has been sent to Barclaycard for their attention." So, I guess I'll wait for a similar response from them now also. 8)

OK, so I should use more generic addresses in future then? Do you have the full address for the head office retail risk team or is it just the Trinity Road one? If they deposit the tenner can you also claim that back if you win? Am not too bothered, but good to know.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll need some guidance somewhere down the line!

Sent out my DPA to MBNA (Gareth Tunnicliffe) on Saturday by 1st class recorded mail. So, I'm guessing the 40 days count down starts here....

OK, sent off my DPA on Saturday by recorded mail, so I guess the 40 days countdown starts today. I've sent one DPA to Peter Townsend, for my Barclays account and both Barclaycards... ...I hope this is ok, because he is listed as a contact in both the Barclays and the Barclaycard threads. Fingers crossed.

OK, just starting out. Have just sent of the DPA to Julie O'Donnell - Data Protection Consultant - by recorded delivery. The 40 day countdown starts here....
