Subject Access Requests / GDPR / Data Protection - how to request your info.

[Amethyst]

There is a standard letter template here -> Subject Access Request Letter

However most lenders/banks have direct contact info on their websites now - normally within their ' Privacy Policy' pages, and it's easier and quicker to submit your requests through their system than sending a letter - you should always keep a record of the dates and exactly what you sent them ( Screenshots are a good idea ).

Best way is to go to the lenders website, go down to the bottom of the page and there is normally a link to Privacy Policy - have a quick scroll through for something ' How to get a copy of your data?' or ' Your rights' etc and the info is usually thereabouts.

SO for example;

Lloyds Bank
