Response to I think they've only sent me half my file

from Eleanor Scott (eleanor.scott@btinternet.com)
Can I just add for anyone reading this and thinking about using the Data Protection Act, that once you have served your Subject Access Rights notice (see this site for details of how to do this) and paid the fee (e.g., at current rates, #10 for Abbey National and #20 for Eversheds) that the organisation concerned has 40 days to comply with the Act. That is, they must send you copies of all the electronically-held material they have on you within 40 days of receiving the notice and the fee. (Always use Recorded Delivery to send these; and a postal order is a good way of paying the fee.) The material they send you must be in intelligible form - i.e. they must explain codes, abbreviations etc.
