How do I make the S.A.R – (Subject Access Request)?
You must make your request in writing. The bank is entitled to charge a maximum fee of £10 for this. (s.7 (2)) You are entitled to make further SARs at reasonable intervals. You can send your S.A.R. to the Bank at its address that it registered with the Data Protection Commissioner. You can search the database at Information Commissioners – Data Protection Public Register. Mark the envelope for the attention for the Data Controller. Send this through your local Post Office and be sure to obtain a FREE Certificate of Postage. Do not throw away the posting slip until you have received the information you have required. The bank is entitled to ask you for such information as it reasonably requires to satisfy it as to your identity. (s.7 (3)) and this may include you filling in a form.
