Riflez Vs HSBC

[Riflez]

Sent DPA request on 09/08/2006 using recorded signed for.

 

With all my ebaying usually this would have turned up Thurs/Fri. Its now Monday and still no signature showing up on track and trace?

 

Panic or normal?

Hi there, wouldn't panic, mine didn't show up straight away but I got my reply within the 14 days.

Hi, no need to worry - often takes several days. You are still due a response within 14 days.

[Riflez]

Thanks to both of you,

 

As this is a closed account a would assume at the end of the process that HSBC's solicitors will settle in the form of a cheque? would you need to keep the claim open until the cheque has cleared? or if it did not the bank would breach the terms of settlement?

Hi

 

What address did you send your Data Protection Request Letter to. I think I have used the wrong one, Doh!!

 

Thanks

[Riflez]

Sent mine to:

 

HSBC Bank Plc

8 Canada Square

London

E14 5HQ

[Riflez]

My recorded letter still has not shown up as signed for? it was a week today it was sent?

[dinahjl]

Provided a slip advising them that a delivery was attempted by the Post Office of a letter requiring a signature, then you have served the letter. Your 14 days run as from the date sent, not the date they decide to collect it.

Have you requested a trace from the Royal Mail website? There is a slim possibility it has not been delivered and if so, they can confirm this.

[Riflez]

Finally showed as delivered, one ticking clock for HSBC

[Riflez]

Its now been 16 days since my request for statements was sent to HSBC and I have not heard a peep from them, Not even acknowledgment of the letter I sent them.

 

Is that quite normal and the first stall tactic by dragging out the 40 day data protection act request as long as possible?

[Riflez]

There is 9 days left until they have broken the Data Protection Act.

 

Is there something i should do at this point? Ive not even had and confirmation of the recipt of my request (but i know they have it)
