New SAR started against Abbey

[cazandtel]

Hi everyone, we have been with the Abbey for years and have always put up with the extortionate charges, but recently had a charge that was totally over the top considering the circumstances. Having watched the program on the TV and studied this great site sent off my SAR and have just received the standard microfiche reply. Have just drafted the suggested reply which I will post recorded tomorrow. Will keep this updated with progress.

Regards Terry (ex police sergeant)

Hi

 

Don't hold your breath! I received 12 months statements from them in first week and now 40 days have passed and received nothing further. Am now proceeding with an estimate until they can provide true figure!

 

Good Luck!

Hi,

I am also at the stage of the microfiche argument just getting ready to post off my recorded delivery for the request of the remaining statements.

 

My account has been closed but I was wondering...

Could I goto my local branch and ask them for a transaction on a date 2 years ago making up a story saying there is a dispute of a debit card payment say for example with Paypal, and if they can give me the transactions in and around that date, maybe over a few days... if they do this would this be ethical and a good idea to pass back to their head office that their microfiche excuse is bogus or would I be jeopardising my position???

 

Just my thoughts to find a quick way to squash their fiche argument...

FWIW

 

I thnk if you have the nerve then its a good idea.

 

I wouldnt tell them why but otherwise i would be honest about anything they asked just in case a record is made and you said something wrong that cud be used against you.

 

Im no expert so others with more knowledge may have some better ideas.

 

I have just logged onto my Egg account which has been closed for some while now and downloaded a years worth of statements.

 

Alls fair in love and war and if they let me why not, i thik the same goes for your idea too.

Hi Mad/Glenn/Ethridge & Karnevil, great to see a lot joining the mission to be treated fairly. I am very new to this myself, always willing to help where I can, but still getting to grips with the site etc but am finding lots of support.

 

I have a number of years of Law experience including fraud and deception after serving 15 years in the police. I do not think anything that has been asked to date is anything more than creative thinking and should be encouraged. If I can help I will.

 

Thanks To Karnevil for his input, great source of knowledge.

 

Cheers all, Terry
