Data Protection Issues (Banking Sector)
Many of our clients find themselves receiving subject access reports, sometimes before there has been any intimation of a claim against them but more often, when there is already a dispute before the Financial Ombudsman Service or alternatively, where recovery proceedings have been threatened, where such requests are really an attempt to obtain pre-action disclosure; what the Courts used to term a ‘fishing expedition’.
We can:-
• Advise on the best method of dealing with such requests.
• Divide materials into disclosable, confidential and privileged.
• Prepare the List.
• Deal with surrounding correspondence
