Thanks to Castle.

Here is the information for anyone wondering, from Castle's kindly provided link:

"Can I require individuals to use a specially designed form when making subject access requests?

No. Many organisations produce subject access request forms, and you may invite individuals to use such a form as long as you make it clear that this is not compulsory and you do not try to use this as a way of extending the 40-day time limit for responding. Standard forms can make it easier for you to recognise a subject access request and make it easier for the individual to include all the details you might need to locate the information they want.

However, any request in writing must be considered as a valid request, whatever the format."
Thank you. :beer:

But that's all this is a public open forum not a site full of qualified posters who are experts in everything .

So you decline to explain your earlier contradictions in providing a definitive.

You also seem of the incorrect opinion that I am legally obliged to retain records of bills received rather than the fact of the matter being that the supplier must keep copies of bills provided. Very, very poor advice, I conclude.

I do not recall "hurling" "abuse" at anyone, but note your snide alluding to such.

If I'm in a minority, such must be diametrically opposed to the apparent majority who know now't but spout lots, of which you are clearly a leading light.

Finally, you bottle it by falling back on TV catchphrase a la "You're Fired" (yawn!!) as you leave (be careful the door doesn't catch you on the way out).

Question still unanswered.

Such a simple one, too (for someone who knows rather than a mere armchair-lawyer's speculation and opinion).

Am I obliged to complete and submit this telephone provider's in-house produced SAR form, despite me having already submitted a properly worded SAR?

A definitive reply would be gratefully received.

Still making friends and influencing people I see...
