Okay, with the best will in the world you are very focused on what people who are not fully familiar with the situation have said, and less on working out what you owe and who too. The last bit should really be your priority.
You went to the relevant authorities. It’s not really got you very far. Time for a rethink. 

Quite right.  I get the impression that OP is not fully taking on board the suggestions being made.  OP is in danger on focussing on the unconventional approach, rather than the very serious risks of not paying a rent charge once it has been demanded.

My fear is that you are taking seriously the less important part of this.  As others have said, you bought a property with a rent charge.  If it goes unpaid there could be very serious consequences for you.  Your attention however is on a different aspect. 

I am concerned it will end badly for you if you do not change tack.

Sue who for violating which law? If the company you are trying to sue really is the company that you owe a rentcharge to - then what law have they broken?

You need to ask your solicitor to focus on finding out who to pay. Something your conveyancing solicitor should have advised when you bought the place.

In point 1 you state that someone called your wife and asked for information which she has provided. There is no need to read any further than that. You should NEVER be giving out any information to anyone calling you irrelevant who they say they are.

The only reason they were even able to send you a letter is because you have given them your address and information. You wrote that NatWest is your lender and that they also told you that everything is fine and yet you are still here querying.

OK - I'm giving up on this thread. You don't seem to be willing to take on the important advice you've been given. And instead are getting distracted by irrelevant stuff - e.g. GDPR.

Nowhere in your story is there anything about an organisation giving out your information to a third party (e.g. contrary to GDPR). Someone called and asked you to provide information!

Whether it was or was not Natwest - in either scenario Natwest did not give your information to anyone.

I share your frustration, OP seems to be focussing on the least important issue.  The consequences of not paying a rent charge can be wide reaching.

is all in the hands of a law firm they will figure who to pay and etc etc . i will update with news when i know more. thanks all for your comments
