Hi Forum,(posted 7886 days ago)I managed to successfully SARN Experian! It took a few goes and a couple of months. Cost £10. But I wonder whether they have sent me the full works? My suspicions are aroused by the fact that some documents were included twice (perhaps to cover the "accidental" omission of others?). Anyway, what I received were three items: 1 A copy of the regular credit report search as is normally supplied for a £2 fee under S7 of the DPA; 2 A copy of the correspondence surrounding the SAR application (two letters from me to them and two from them to me); 3 A single-paged A4 document entitled "Marketing Services Division, Subject Access Request- Data Protection Act". This contained data fields for: name & address; and data under the following source headings: Electoral Roll, Shareholder, Director, Lifestyle, and Client Contact (most of which "revealed no matching information").
Please does anyone else have experience or knowledge of whether Experian might have held back anything? (esp. since they have a "tenant verifier" and "candidate verifier" site); and how about that "consumer survey" that I completed and returned to one of their subsiduries some months ago? Surely there must be more eg monthly reports from my creditors, GAIN, CIFAS etc.
Any replies as to what else I might have expected to receive from EXPERIAN would be greatly appreciated.

FOOTNOTE: For the record, EQUIFAX still treat a SAR notice as though it was a £2 credit record, keep your tenner, and ignore all further correspondence. It's time to personally deliver a letter of complaint to the nearest director's home!
