Ltd Co a/c with HSBC. Can I do SAR

[Jumbodave]

As the title say I was wondering if I can do a SAR on HSBC even though it's a Ltd Co a/c. I am the only director and they are trying to reposses my mome (see other related post)?

Thanks

Yes you can do a SAR, I just have with HSBC but they will only send you documents that relate to you personally as the SAR wont cover the Ltd company. I had my documentation arrive friday, it didnt take them long.

Hi there

 

My thoughts are that a Limited Company is a legal "person" in its own right and therefore qualifies as a subject.

 

I would have thought that the directors can do a sar in the name of the company, duly authorised by the officers of the company to get all the information the bank has on that company.

 

I stand to be corrected of course

This is part of the letter I got from HSBC when I sent my SAR, hope it helps :-

 

Furthermore, in case you are not aware, the 1998 Data Protection Act only refers to individuals, not incorporated companies so anything specific for XXXXX Ltd will not, unless it makes reference to Mr XXXXX, Mr X XXXXX, or XXX (christian name), (subject to your confirmation) be supplied as a response to your letter.

 

Therefore, if you have any specific questions that you feel our response will not cover, then please contact me accordingly.

Thank you XENTRIX...another bit of info for my file.

 

Makes you wonder if there is legislation elsewhere that provides for an incorporated body to get all details from a financial institution. Where to look though is another question.

 

Thanks again
