been trying to get my statements back from them so i can claim back my charges.

 

sent my letter on the 11th april and i thought they would have 40 days from then to reply.

 

just got a letter in the post saying they need some form of id.. and once i send it they will start the 40 days.

 

is this legal?

Yes, I'm afraid so. However, after much tooing-and-froing I got them to accept a secure message as proof of ID and didn't have to pay the DPA fee. They said:

Dear Bump

 

I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused.

 

Previously, a secure message was not one of our accepted proofs of ID for this type of request. However, to improve the speed and efficiency of this for our customers we now accept secure messages as proof of ID when making a data subject information request.

 

I've passed your details on to the team that will process your data subject information request to let them know you've sent the secure message to us, they'll contact you shortly.

I would say that it took me AGES to get this out of them so you may well be better off just resending the ID. However, it seems that a stern message through the website mentioning a complaint to the Information Commisioner really makes them pull their finger out...

 

Good luck. :)

there is pre paid envelope here so i think i'll just throw it in the post today.

 

at least its some kind of response from them.. others just seem to try and forget about it hoping you'll go away!!

I'd recommend sending it recorded, rather than using their envelope. Then they can't wriggle out of dates. Having said that you should perhaps start the 40 day count from your first letter.
