You need to do a bit more reading about what you can legitimately request in a SAR. The following is a useful template:

You should add to your letter to the legal team that, although you deny any debt, you are seeking debt advice and therefore, pursuant to the pre-action protocol for debt claims 4.2 you require them to suspend the action for 30 days.0

Thanks again for your time.
I have removed all points mentioned in SAR as well as loss except those that ask for evidence so I hope I have got it right or can I simply put all evidence that they will rely on to cover everything? ie request for Byelaws, contract, times and images etc. all of which I recall were something to ask for in appeal but they never sent.
As you have not commented on the actual SAR can I take it that that is acceptable?

They have 30 days, don’t get too overly optimistic on timescales - while it might be your priority, it’s a long way from theirs.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.
