barclaycard bank sar request cheque 5 months later??

Anybody else had similar thing happen?
I sent an sar request to barclaycard in December 2012 and they banked it last week? does this mean i may be getting an offer letter soon?
I have had all of the information from them I think, sent loads of letters off so will have to check my ppi file.

    You won't get an offer letter on the back of a Subject Access Request (SAR)!
    Did you complain that your PPI (if you had it) was mis-sold? Did you have valid complaint reasons?
    If not, why would the Bank be sending you an "offer"?

    I also sent them a SAR request in December last year and they banked the cheque last week (Friday I think).

    It doesn't matter how long it takes them to bank a cheque for a SAR, you'll only get a further response if you've subsequently made a valid complaint. There is no point simply establishing that you had PPI (if you did), it needs to have been mis-sold to you in order for it to be refunded.

    I was only responding to the OP to let him (or her) know that they seem to just bank the cheques in batches, regardless of the outcome.

    I got over £8k from them thanks to that SAR so I have no problems with them banking the £10 cheque a few months late :T

    I concur, the point being that banking a SAR payment is unrelated to the status of any subsequent complaint.

    I know it doesnt mean a payout obviously, thought my claim and sar request was done and dusted with them, but now they bank the cheque, will check back over my records I think!
