    It is my right to cancel and invoke GDPR (without me flaunting maliciously), which is the advice I was asking about.
    And as the details held about you are financial, it is the right (and legal obligation) of the company concerned to refuse your request to have your data erased.

    Thanks for the "advices" anyway. Got better help at a legal forum.  Rather listen to people in the know than armchair lawyers who barely gave any decent advice on the topic and focused on passwords..
    As often happens on here, certain posters don't get mollycoddled so they throw their toys out and have a tantrum.
    As ive learned get zero help from people that dont know anything anyway. I may have fared better posting it on my facebook wall.  

    Anyway I've found the answers elsewhere from more reliable sources who actually know what they are talking about after realising you guys are no help. Good day to you sir.

    >Flaunting
    My right to cancel a direct debit on 14 day cooling off and asking for GDPR right to access is flaunting.  Ha haa get a grip Sherlock

    So I signed up for a direct debit with a company tied to and promoted by a well known UK shopping chain, they have my name, age, address, phone number, bank details and email.
    So just which "Well known UK shopping chain" and what exactly were you getting for your DD that you set up?
    Relevant. Thanks for the help.

    As someone who deals with the payment side of this type of things. ITS VERY RELEVANT...

    Will be able to advise if it's (what some people call a scam) or something else.

    You must have been getting something to have set up a payment method...

    Aaaahh so you are doing a public service here Detective Poirot. But who on earth said it was a scam?

    I clearly said I signed up for a product and within my rights under the 14 day cooling off period I changed my mind on that before I received said product and before any money changed hands. For what ever reason that may be I have a right to change my mind and cancel. The company then cancelled without issue. I then asked for GDPR, again this is a right I have, for what ever reason I have, I am within my rights to ask a company for GDPR Right of Access. It's not flaunting and its certainly not malicious on my part as one of the goons in here believed.

    The company ignored my GDPR request, to which they had a month to respond and a month went past without a response from them, 2 and a half months in fact until I emailed them again. Nothing more nothing less.

    >You must have been getting something to have set up a payment method...

    Thats what you really want to know though isn't, what I was getting. You don't really want to help anybody but entertain yourself.

    Doesn't matter if I signed up for !!!!!! or children's books. There is no mystery here for you to uncover. Its not relevant what so ever to my questions about GDPR no matter how many words you put in capitals. Knowing the company name or what I was receiving will not change any answer you give me regarding GDPR.

    To be honest you are just a curtain twitcher, a rubber necker.

    That is great advice. The only decent advice/help anybody has given on here.
    It's all taken care of, somebody helped me elsewhere before I read this. They wrote an email for me to send, explained the steps I should take and will help further down the line with responses from the company.

    Thanks anyway. 

    All I want is GDPR right of access without being made to feel guilty about it by the Sherlock Holmes wannabees in here.

    Cant help some people. Your Op was vague.
    Do not come here for entertainment. I get plenty of that talking to people about stuff like this everyday.
    But you just can't help everyone.

    Good luck :)

    Title says

    "GDPR Article 15: Right of Access" Questions


    Im not sure where you got the scam part from or why you thought knowing what product I was receiving would help you give any better advice on the GDPR matter.

    It was for Magic Beans and Snake Oils if you must know.
