Response to Subject Access Request

from E Scott (eleanor.scott@btinternet.com)
Further to this, the Data Protection Registrar is now called the Information Commissioner, and the email address is: mail@dataprotection.gov.uk

My understanding is that you are allowed to ask for ALL the information held on you, and that the maximum fee for this should be ten quid. These firms can no longer charge £10 per category as they used to. And their data controllers should know that. If anyone has paid more, ask the Information Commissioner to write to the firm concerned and tell them to give you your money back. The Data Protection Commissioner (as she then was) did this for me with respect to Eversheds. Interesting, that, a firm of solicitors not understanding the Data Protection Act...........
