Dear MR xxxxxx/Abbey

On the 4 July 2006 I paid Abbey £10 for Subject Data Access, and am led to believe that a 40 day waiting period is allowed under current UK legislation, 40 days has now passed. I therefore request the following:

• Information held on me, which you accessed incidentally, in my presence, relating to a previous account which is now closed.
  
• This information is available on computer; you are reminded that there are penalties under UK law for the refusal to supply information when requested under Subject data Access and the data protection act.

3. All other information held by Abbey in relation to me within the last 6 years.

If this information, is not forthcoming within 7 days I will take immediate action in the county court using the Data protection act legislation.

How long did it take to get the microfiche statments? I`m still waiting for mine. How do you go about complaining to Info Comms Office? How did you get address?

[timwils]

i hassled abbey and my statements came today, i thought it was quite amusing, when i read that the debt collectors had came to my house, and i had "allegedly said i will set the dogs on you". seriously though its quite frightening what these companies write about you.

 

I sent off for my data on 4-08-06. they finally turned up when i threatened abbey with action via the ico.

Thanks for that, I`ll get planning my next step if I dont receive anything by Friday.

[timwils]

I recieved an (allocation) letter from the court which i returned, i presume i will now receive a letter giving me a court date, my question is? has anyone actually gone to court against Abbey yet?.:?

Thanks in advance.

[timwils]

Hi There

I have a court allocation hearing in the first week of feb 2007.

Question: Will i need to take all the court bundle with me, or what documents will i take to court? help.

any help would be appreciated.

[noobrider]

I would advise that you prepare your complete court bundle. It's not necessarily required but it helps to be totally prepared for any questions that arise. Is your claim more likely to be small claims?

[timwils]

yes i think so.
