Charges for sending 6 years bank statements

[stevenazari]

Hi there, Im trying to get my statements from barclays for the last 6 years, but the guy on the phone told me its £3 per statement!?!? whats all that about!? Can they charge that much and is there a way round it?

It's max £10 for the lot. Read the FAQs and the forum material. It's all there.

I just ordered statements for two accounts with Barclays.....£5 each = £10 in total

I ordered my statements from 1999 forwards and Barclays said £5 total. No problem...

Q. My bank wants to charge me for each statement sheet. They want a lot of money - far more than the actual cost of each one. It adds up to a lot of money. What should I do?

A. This has caused a problem for a lot of people. Some people have applied to receive their statements as a data disclosure under the Data Protection Act. You should try this route. It costs only £10. However, it is still unclear whether this is a valid route. However, an application under the Act may result in the Bank sending you the statements without any further trouble.

 

I found this info but I stated it to the bank and they said that yes they can do it, but its £3 per statement and we ended up going around in circles!

There has been a lot of discussion in the Group. Some banks interpret the law in meaning that the actual bank statement is not pary of your data file.

 

In this word your DPA request so that you ask for a list of all charges and transactions on your account. These are certainly part of your file and must be supplied for a maximum of £10.

No - It's £10 max

Phone customer services and ask for a list of your charges going back six years under the Data Protection Act. They have no problem doing this normally.
