Dear All,
Under the DPA98 we have to comply within 40 days of receiving a request from
an individual.
My question is this- What happens if the individual does not supply
sufficient
data on their letter to enable us to search for them on our systems. If we
respond to their request and ask for more details and they take 38 days to
respond can we start the 40 days from the date of their response or is it
from
the initial date of the 1st letter??
Many thanks for your help
Stuart
