Hi all, I'm new and could do with some help!

Hi all,

 

I have just joined because i am looking to reclaim charges on several accounts that I have had over the past 6 years! I don't have any statements for those accounts i have closed and wonder where I start in order to kick of this work.

 

I believe that banks are required under the data protection act to provide you with statements at request (with a £10 fee).

 

What do you need to do this (Account number and sort code only?).

 

Do they have to supply all the statements for the last six years?

 

I notice people are having problems obtaining their statements even though the banks legally have to, why is this?

 

Is there a way of obtaining information for accounts that I have closed and hold no records for?

 

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind regards

 

Dom

Hi Dom welcome to the site.

You are correct in your thinking.

Make a request for the statements they will send them.

Closed accounts are included.

If its a case of a long time ago or a change of address you may be asked for ID to verify you are who you say you are.

Take some time to read the faqs and some threads in your bank group.

The answers to the questions you ask here are all in there !!
