Do you know the name of the person you have been speaking to at the SO? If so let me know by PM rather than publishing their name online.

SAR is a Subject Access Request, providing this is for yourself and not a Company is a request to a firm for all information they hold on file for you. Whilst admittedly some info may be of a private/commercial nature they may be able to withhold that or issue it if redacted - blanked out. The rest of everything should be provided and should relate to telephone, email, letters etc. The cost of doing so is £10 & is best made via Postal Order, they then have 40 calendar days in which to comply. If they do fail to respond you do have options either a complaint to the ICO - quite a lengthy process and all they get is slap on the wrist or file an action at Court compelling them to do so.

You don't need to write chapter and verse for your request, keep it simple like this:

"From:
My Name
My Address

To:
Acme Bailiff Co
Bailiff House

Thanks Tom, I'll do that ASAP, there are more than a few fees they have charged which I think must be illegal. E.g. fee for removal and storage of items when they haven't actually taken anything what so ever.
