Thanks BankFodder.

it's been over 3 months but no word from HSBC on the SAR.

I sent them the template from this site and also by recorded delivery, I know they received it.

Cabot also just got back to me saying they'll 'hold' the account for 3 months to update them (which is laughable because it sounds like they haven't got the data either lol).

What do now?

responding to an SAR is a legal requirement. they had 30days if you read what you sent them..

Thanks dx, that's a good idea.

In which case I'll do both, send a letter and ring them.

Last question,

what do I even 'update' Cabot with?

Do I just tell them to do one in polite terms?

yours is not the next move, never enter pointless letter tennis with a powerless dCA.

Hi guys -

been over a month since my last letter and no response.

I've tried to phone them too but it only works for customers which I am no longer.

Do I go to the ICO now (that's what I said I'd do in the letter)?

If so, grateful for any resources CAG has on this.

ofcourse you can ring and chase regardless to not being an active customer

what address did you send the SAR too?

What's the number? I tried the relevant ones on their site and they keep asking for account details.

 

I sent the SAR to head office in Canada Square. Does the address matter? I read you can send it to any branch and they have to process it.

hsbc uk site says under sar:

 

You can exercise your rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer,  P.O. Box 6201, Coventry CV3 9HW addressed ‘for the attention of the DPO’.

Thanks dx - just checked Royal Mail and it says the original letter was rejected and then rerouted to Coventry. This means they received it but should I just send one more chaser to that above address? Also anything specific I should say?

Lol... I phoned and they "have no idea" what my request is about and can't help (i.e. transfer me to a DPO department) without an account number.

they told me to go to a nearby branch!

I'm beginning to lose my patience with HSBC now!

This thread talks about a similar situation and there's an email address there.

Worth emailing them do you think?

i was simply airing on the side of they never got it for whatever reason.

its not really an issue that do date you've not got the statements

cabot aren't chasing and rarly go anywhere with OD debts, they simply hope most people are mugs and think a DCA has magical powers.

Thanks dx - I've given them a few days just to respond. If I don't get it, can I send a new one and put out a complaint to ICO for the old one?

 

Sounds good on the DCA point. I mean, I don't think they've got any of the data either, which would be funny from our PoV.
