    thanks for the reply, this is why i put it up on here first, how would i go about making the i request you refer more formal though ?
    that is where i am struggling.
    as if i am honest, i would've thought "request" would've been more formal but less demanding than "ask"
    having never been in this situation before, i am not used to being formal and demanding.

    It’s far too ‘chummy’. Get rid of and change to a more businesslike language the ‘Dear Daniel’, ‘I request that you refer’, ‘I would also like to refer you to’, ‘please could you send’, ‘Many Thanks’.

  • God I am feeling like an idiot now!
    Thank you so much for coming through on this!
    Genuinely cant get over how helpful people on the forum are.
  • Just had a response from them, which has gone over the 30 day limit that i gave to them, which includes adding extra days for the bank holiday.
    Is there anything with this i can do to get it shut down? as it is required by the PAP or an explanation why they will not be able to get it to me within 30 days.
    Neither of which was done.
    Until i received a reply today on around day 40.
    I've read through the PAP but can not find anything to say with what happens if they fail to meet the 30 day time limit you suggest to them.:question:
    Thanks
