northern Bank charges reclaim **WON**

[hephalump]

Hi Lickthewallfatboy,

When I Wrote Off My First Letter I Was In Such A Bad Temper I Had Not Done The Necessary Ground Work And DID NOT SAY THE INFORMATION WAS BEING REQUESTED UNDER THE DATA PROTECTION ACT, The Bank Said This Was Not Viewed By Them As A Legal Request Although When I Discovered My Error I Sent Them £10 And Made Sure The Second Letter Did State That The Information Was being requested under the Act - Do You Think Their Right?

You really need to play by the book,cos they'll use any loophole to wriggle off the hook

 

It has to be a properly constituted request and the statutory fee is £10-but it's up to them if they want to actually cash your cheque or not...

actually i was told by COMMISSIONERS OFFICE THEY CANT DICTATE FORM THAT MONEY IS PAID TO THEM AS THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY FORM OF PAYMENT IN D.P.A 1998 ALTHOUGH THEY WILL USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO USE STALLING TACTICS. THE WAY IM LOOKING ON THIS AT THE MINUTE IS THEY'VE TAKEN MY SILVER SHILLING AND STILL NOT COME UP WITH THE GOODS. THEREFORE THEM ACCEPTING THE £10 MEANS TO ME THAT THEY HAVE ENTERED INTO A LEGAL AGREEMENT OR ELSE THEY HAVE PERPETRATED A THEFT!

Sorry misunderstood your resonse until I read it again, you see I actually sent them a £10 NOTE THINKING THEY COULDN'T REFUSE and I do know that they accepted it in a roundabout way although a snooty staff member told me they didn't have to as they don't accept cash(they must be joking they are a bank).
