It affected a lot of other groups too. The questions raised in this thread don't relate to pensions, which is why moving it to a more appropriate board is likely to get more helpful answers.

There's only over 450 pension providers impacted

I'd suggest it isn't a consumer rights issue either - it's a rather niche legal question about NWNF/conditional fee/contingency fee/damages based agreements and the process involved when a claim is transferred from one firm of solicitors to another

If posters haven't done so already I suggest someone starts a thread on Legal beagles (General Legal Issues - LegalBeagles Forum) or even Consumer Action Group (General Legal Issues - National Consumer Service)

…and how helpful are the answers you're getting on the pensions board…?

Were you all happy to sign this part ?

"I instruct Abbleys Solicitors on my behalf to draft a Subject Access Request in order to obtain any information that it deems appropriate and to submit it to the proposed Defendant's Data Controller"

I'm not happy that a third party can request all personal data about me - surely the only person who can request my data is me (police notwithstanding).

What data are they going to request and would Capita/Google/Microsoft agree to this and what will they do with all my data?!

Normally yes, which is why your solicitors would need your written authority in order to do it on your behalf. It's pretty commonplace.

What data are they going to request and would Capita/Google/Microsoft agree to this

They'll request the data which might be relevant to your claim. The whole point of data protection legislation is that the data controllers must provide your data (other than certain exemptions).

what will they do with all my data

They'll fish out whatever is relevant to your claim.
