Sorry, but I don't understand why you want to know my reasons for sending a SAR when my original question was about who in a clubs committee is entitled to see my data.

I sent a Subject Access Request to the club's data controller and he brought my request up at a committee meeting where it was discussed by the committee members that were present, because of this SAR one member of the committee decided to block me from accessing some of my data till they had replied to my request.

Hi BankFodder thanks for reply, on the list of committee members 7 are listed as office bearers the rest are just committee members, in the club constitution it says committee members are agents of the club.

Hi all, looking for some advice, I am a member of a sports club that has 20 committee members, can I ask if everyone of those committee members is entitled to see my personal data? Thanks

Thank you.

Thanks dx100uk. No I did not sign any wavier. Would I be within my rights to ask them to remove my name? Also what action could I take if they refuse to remove it? I know some folks might think this is trivial but I feel they are trying to intimidate/ridicule me because I questioned their procedures to change the rules of the club. Thanks.

Hi folks, looking for some advice. I recently put a complaint into my local sports club, of which I am a member. The club discussed my complaint at their monthly Committee meeting and sent a reply to me. On looking at the minutes of the meeting which are posted on the club's noticeboard (this noticeboard is in full view to the general public) they have published my name, in full, as being the person who made a complaint. Can I ask if this is a breach of the GDPR rules? Thanks

Hi dx100uk thanks for the reply, sorry but can I ask who or what ABDA is? So I can look up what they say, thanks.

Hi I was just wondering if someone can help with the problem I am having with Alpharooms. Background- On 24th August 2017 I booked, and paid, a 4 night break to Benidorm for February 2018 for my wife and myself. Next day our daughter (14) asked if she could also come. I called Alpharooms and they said that it would not be a problem to add our daughter but there would be a £30 modification fee. I said that was ok and booked and paid for daughter this payment was made on the 28th August. To date I have not recieved any conformation of this change and everytime I email and ask for conformation I get a reply asking me to pay £320 so they can proceed with the changes. I have also called them and they tell me they are awaiting a reply from their suppliers which normally takes 24hrs (this has been going on for nearly three weeks now). They also say they can only see one payment (the 2nd payment for daughter) so will have to get in touch with their accounts department to verify payment. My card statement shows both payments have been made and recieved by Alpharooms. This has now been going on for nearly three weeks now and when I called today I was asked to wait another 48hrs for suppliers to reply to them. Is there anything I can do? If I want to cancel booking it is going to cost me £90 according to their t&c's. Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can give some advice about what to do.

Hi dx100uk, I paid through PayPal with my Visa Credit Card. Cheers.

Hi BankFodder Thanks for your reply. It is good to know that I can now reject Dishwasher. They, co-op electrical, are meant to be calling me tomorrow so will see what happens. Unfortunately I did not record phone calls and was too busy drying up water on floor to take any photos of flooding. Cheers.

Hi folks Long story but hopefully I will keep it as short as possible. On 24th November 2016 I purchased a Whiteknight Dishwasher from co-op electrical, it was delivered on the 26th November, all was going well till the 4th January 2017 when it stopped draining and warning light was flashing and bleeping, I looked at manual and fault code was "Overflow - Some elements of dishwasher leaks" I called co-op electrical who said I should talk to whiteknight to arrange a service engineer to call. I called whiteknight who said that their own engineers don't cover my post code area but they would get in touch with a partner who will be in touch with me within 24hrs. 24hrs passed without a call I called them back, they apologized and said they would email engineer again and tell him to get in touch with me to arrange visit. Another 24hrs passed and no engineer called, I telephoned again and was told that a visit was booked for the next day and they would get engineer to call and confirm visit. As per usual no call to confirm visit and no engineer showed up. At 17.30 I called whiteknight again and was told engineer had to 18.00 to make a visit. Told them if no-one appeared I would be calling them back at 18.00. At 17.55 engineer called and said he had just been told about job and he would not be able to attend till the next morning at 9.30, I said this would be fine. Next morning engineer arrived and took dishwasher apart had a quick look around inside machine, switched it on and said he will be back in an hour once it had finished its cycle. He had only been out the house five minutes when the dishwasher flooded my kitchen floor. We switched off machine and waited for engineer to come back, told him what had happened and he said he was not quite sure what the problem was, said he could change pump but didn't know if that would fix fault, he then said he was going to speak to his boss, left the house and has not come back, dishwasher is still lying in bits in my kitchen and conservatory. Next day I called whiteknight to find out what was happening and they told me that the engineer had reported to them that we had refused a repair, told whiteknight that this was a lie. I have now been on the phone several times, since engineer visit, to whitekight and co-op electrical and all they say is we are looking into and someone will call you back within 24hrs which never happens. After all the problems we have had can I now reject the dishwasher, as I have gave them a chance of repair, and ask for a refund or a replacement. Thanks for reading and sorry for the long post. Cheers.

Hi there, I am in a similar situation as the original poster but I am only 3 months into a 12 month contract for line rental and 18 month contract for broadband. Would I be able to cancel my contract for both without having to pay any penalties and also would I be made to pay for the equipment (BT homehub 5) I have recieved?

Hi fkofilee, thanks for the reply. It is not a great deal of money (£60) but nearly every month there is something wrong with my wages, either overtime not added or wrong rate payed (this can sometimes be as much as £200) and when I call it is always the same answer, that it will be sorted out in the next pay run. I would just like to know my legal right to get payed my correct wages in a timely fashion. As I am already paid monthly in arrears it can take 9 - 10 weeks for me to get my overtime. Thanks.

Hi there, I work term-time and sometimes during the school break I am called in to open up for workmen etc. During the summer break I was called in for a total of 54hrs, I filled in my timesheet but when I received my wages I had been payed at the wrong rate. I phoned up my wages department and they accepted that I had been payed the wrong rate and said it would be corrected in the next pay run, which is not until the 14th October. What I would like to know is can I ask them to pay me the shortfall straight away or am I legally obliged to wait till October for wages that were worked in July. Thanks.

Thanks for all your replies, think I will just put in the request and see what happens. Paid or unpaid I shall go to the wedding ;o)

Well have had a reply from my union rep, said they had spoken to HR, the reply was :- "Your holiday entitlement is worked out over the year and paid in your salary as you state. Your allocation of holidays are now when the school is closed. You have no other A/L entitlement outside of this." Still haven't a clue to- How my holiday entitlement is worked out Why I have to work my holiday entitlement Why I can't take my holidays during the time I am actually working for the council More Questions to be fired off then :o(

Hi ericsbrother, thanks for your reply. I have asked for a breakdown of my wages showing what was salary and what was holiday entitlement. The person I spoke to passed me onto someone else who in turn passed me onto someone else, after getting passed onto seven different people I ended up speaking to the first person I talked to who said she would get back in touch, still waiting. After five weeks of getting passed from pillar to post I am no further forward on finding out how my wages are calculated.

Thanks Conniff, school is closed for Easter but I shall put my request in, when we return, to see what they say. I have also fired off an email to my union (Unison) asking for some advice, will see what they recommend or advise.

Hi Sidewinder, thanks for your reply. Yes I do work in a school, but my contract was changed 4 years ago to a term-time contract. In this contract I do not get any holidays but get paid for my holiday entitlement, which I think is at time and a half. When the school is closed I do not get paid but their way of giving me a wage every month is to add together my annual wages and holiday entitlement and divide it by 12. I am not sure about employment law but surely they cannot make you work your holiday entitlement unless I have agreed to it? To date I have never received a new contract. They have also told me that I can work elsewhere during the school closures. Thanks.

Hello folks, have been a member for a good number of years but not posted very much. I now have a question that hopefully somebody may be able to give some advice about. For the last 21 years I have worked as a Janitor for a local government authority, about 4 years ago they put some Janitors (not all) on to term-time contracts, unfortunately I was one of the ones that was put on to a term-time contract. More recently they (government authority) have changed us from weekly paid to monthly paid, so what they do now is calculate your yearly wage, including holiday entitlement, and divide it by 12 to give you a monthly wage paid on the 14th of each month, any overtime you work can take up to 10 weeks to get paid depending on when you work it. I have a wedding to go to in September of this year (2015), live in Scotland so it will be in the middle of a school term. Would I be able to take a couple of days off and claim it as holidays? I understand (but not confirmed) that I get paid time and a half for working holidays and this is included in my yearly salary. I think I am entitled to 30 days holiday because of my time of service. By my calculations I would only lose 1 day wages if I take two days off and claim it as holidays. Have not seen a copy of my "new" contract since they changed me to term-time but my "old" one said that holidays must be taken outside term-time. As I am only working term-time now then surely I am entitled to take my holidays during term time. Sorry for the long post but if anyone has some advice it would be gratefully received. Thanks

Hi Folks, Not posted a lot since joining but have been an avid reader, and now I am looking for some opinions/advice. I am a school caretaker and recently our local council have put us onto term-time contracts, this means that I finish work when the school breaks up for holidays (summer, October, Christmas and Easter etc.) Now 9 times out of 10 this is when workmen are wanting into the school to do maintenance work etc. They (the council) have asked me if I could open up school for the tradesmen. I asked what I would be getting paid and they said it would be 1hr straight time for opening up and 1hr for locking up when workmen were finished. I queried about the rate, as it is outwith my contracted hours I thought I should be getting time and a half but was told it was council policy to only pay straight time, unless you have worked 37hrs in one week. Can I ask what your opinions are on this and would it be worth my while to raise it again with my line manager/union? Many thanks for reading.

Hi folks Thanks for all the replies, I sent a cheque off today to cover the deposit. I felt, as some of you have said, that we had agreed the price and as I had already got some discounts and freebies thrown in I could not let the salesman get a rough time. Thanks again.

Hi folks thanks for the replies. postggj the finance agreement does mention "Advance payment" but does not show any breakdown of this advance payment. jeepstar I did notice on the receipt there was a deposit listed but was never asked for any at the showroom and we only found out they were looking for it after we had phoned them regarding something different. Cheers

Hi folks my first post and looking for some advice. 3 weeks ago we went for a new car, found one we liked and signed a couple of forms. The next week we went and collected the car and signed the forms for the finance deal, got a receipt from the dealer (Mazda) saying our balance is zero. Today my wife had to phone the dealer about something and they said to her that there had been a mix up and we owed them £220 because they had forgotten to take a deposit for the car and the final price on the receipt included a deposit that we had not payed. Can I ask what is your thoughts on this? Do I have to pay the £220 or do I not pay and I say to the dealer I have a receipt showing the balance is zero therefore I owe nothing. Many thanks
