Mint and Subject Access request

[anxious1234]

Hi. Applied to mint and sent £10 for subject accesss request and have received a reply today.

They say that they will not release any details without my signature.

 

Whats the next step?

I think that they can ask....however you could say that they have sent your statements to your house etc, etc,

 

Have a read of this - http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documen...a_subjects.pdf

 

If you are going to give your signature, put lots of lines through it...

Send the idiots this;

 

Dear Sir,

 

You have stipulated that you require proof of my identity/signature before you comply with my SAR, may I bring the following to your attention;

Data Protection Act Good Practice Notes:

 

2. Do you have enough information to be sure of the requester’s identity?

Often you will have no reason to doubt a person’s identity. For example, if a person with whom you have regular contact sends a letter from their known address it may be safe to assume that they are who they say they are.

 

Suffice to say that if the Information Commissioners Office are satisfied that if you have previously corresponded with me at this address then it is reasonable that I am the person I say I am, therefore there is no leglislation nor guidelines that you can hide behind in an attempt to avoid fullfilling my legal request,

 

Yours,

Print name do not sign.
