Can a lender ask for explanation of DPA request

I was repo'd in Sept 1995 and the property sold in Dec 1996. The first contact from the Nationwide was in November 1999 asking for #28729.95 (the property was purchased for #26,000 and sold for #10,000!)as the total debt was apparantly #37411.15 less the profit from the sale of the property. Incidently the selling agent charged 8% plus vat! I requested a breakdown etc and served DPA. The lender has now written to me saying that they hare happy to supply a 'full breakdown' but before they do they require me to 'confirm the reasons you request this and to what benefit it will serve'. I have written back basically requesting the same info again and stating that the reasons seem fairly self explanatory. Am i correct in assuming that I have the right to request the info regardless of any reason? I don't know if it makes a difference but I was banking with them at the time of the sale but never rec'd a notification of sale etc....
