I have a santander current account which I have held for 10 years. Can anyone advise how I can get hold of old direct debit information from 2004?

    Unless you have a copy of the statements yourself then the only way will be to ask Santander but I doubt they will hold information that old.

    Have you rung and asked?
    If the account is still active then they may still be held on the system.

    Would be a lot cheaper & quicker than putting in a SAR request to find that they don't keep info after 6 years.
    Never ASSUME anything its makes a

    I assume this is for a PPI claim? If so, you might be cutting it fine as I believe that Santander only took over from Abbey in 2004 - anything before that will likely be difficult to retrieve.
