Hi

Try sending this one:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6986-data-protection-act-non.html

You don't have to send everything recorded, but you do need proof that your letter has been sent, so recorded is probably the best way.

Good luck, let us know how you get on,

Barty:)

approx 40 days ago

 

Well is it 40 days or isn't it?

Hi!

 

The data protection act gives them 40 days from the date of being able to identify you as the data subject.

 

A link to the act is here.

 

Data Protection Act 1998

 

So I do suggest personally to give it 47 days as this is reasonable, even though the act states 40, they could argue it took a few days extra and would be warranted in stating this.

 

If you have not received it after the 47th day then I would send the non compliance letter. Barty has added that for you.

 

If they then fail to comply, post again and they can be forced to comply by the courts.

 

Hope this helps and don't forget CHAT ROOM is a great source of instant help.
