Thanks John, I have just gone through all my Acct Statements and discovered I have almost the full six yrs im only missing a block of 6mths. May be a naive question but would anyone advise on going ahead with what I already have or do you think I should still send S.A.R for the 6mths that are missing I’m just thinking about the time, would the time waited be worth it when I may not even have any charges at all for that period. So S.A.R for missing 6mths or straight to preliminary letter? p.s I am new to this so if I am blocking someone’s thread then please do say I’m sure I'll work out how to start my own...sorry!

I am about to send my SAR letter, can I ask has anyone (banking with Barclays) had their account closed? Whilst I am about to open another account else where just in case this is to happen I would like to think that I will be able to keep this account, the charges people had been charged are unlawfull we all know that but one bank is no different from the other with regaurds to this matter, besides this fact I am overall happy banking with Barclays, or am I mistaken thinking this?
