BR & Bank statements

Sars49

Hi, have got my OR's interview next week, got the letter today requesting bank/CC statements etc, got about 20 pages printed when the ink ran out, so £24 for new cartridges, or do I tell the OR that is all I can give them, I want to be helpful, but I can think of better things to do with the money, also my printer is VERY old (steam run) if that goes south, even though they have gone down in price, it's still around £60. What is the OR's real expectation regarding things like this?

Also some banks have taken down my internet banking!

Any help please.:)

Why not print the remainder to PDF, and email them?

If they've asked for a certain number, it's not going to get things off on the right foot if you give them what sounds quite close to a "dog ate my homework" excuse.

Most librarys have internet access with print facilities. ok they do charge 10p per copy and you do need to register but for me it is very useful as I don't have a laptop/printer.
Just waiting on my interview date to come through as well.

let me know how it goes with the banks that have closed your internet banking. I have no paper statements so be interested to see how easy it be to get them from the bank.

Just give them what you have printed so far, explaining your predicament, the OR can and will get the other statements if needed :beer:

The OR can obtain all the statements from the bank.

One tip: if you want to obtain all your info from a bank or credit card company, send them a Subject Access Request. I think it costs a tenner, and they will send you every piece of paper related to your account including all statements. I did it with my bank and received about 10 years worth of statements.
