Q: How many times do you have to refer to the DPA and Litigation act before they agree to send you your statements.

A: Until your blue in the face cause they are still only going to send me my first 12 months worth for free anything after that they will charge me £5.00!!!

 

GRRRRRRRR

[BankFodder]

Tell them that the DPA clock is still running and get ready to make your complaint.

 

How much can you identify as owing to you on what you have so far?

[EEK!!!]

Unsure as I can't access my account from work so I'm off to borrow a friends internet over the weekend.

Whilst on the phone earlier they infomred me they have charged me a debit interest for being over my overdraft limit - can this be claimed?

[BankFodder]

If the interest is charge on unlawful penalties then yes it can be claimed.

[EEK!!!]

Thank you!!

Hi,

 

I contacted Cahoot recently and quoted the court case details where statements were ruled as part of DPA personal information. I received an email offering to send me them all for £10 - so my advice is to quote statute at them!

[crazybob]

I've just started looking into this, I've contacted Cahoot a couple of times over the phone and regardless of quoting DPA and the right to access personal information until I was blue in the face they literally point blank refused to send me copies of the statements unless I paid the £5 per statement.

Eventually I had a very helpful young lady call me back who told me I needed to ask (via the online contact system) for a ‘Subject Access Request’ which she explained complies with DPA and rather than being a proper printed off statement is a slightly rougher copy of what they’d see on screen when looking at your account transactions, but still, obviously, contains all the account transactions. I’ve requested this and reminded them that I expect them to reply within at least 40 days, so I’m just waiting to see what comes back.

[crazybob]

Well I got a response today by email they're sending me out a subject access request form in the post that I've got to fill out and send back with the £10 payment.

[BankFodder]

No form is needed. Only a letter and the money.

[Dan84]

cahoot's backwards way of doing things, they make you sign and return a subject access request form. No idea why though!

 

Probably just a time wasting thing in the hope that the customer can't be bothered to complete it!
