Help! GE Money cowboys-£3 per statement!

pleasant

I have today finally paid off the outstanding balance of a rip-off store card I took out with River Island 5 years ago and closed the account. Whilst looking at the back of the statement I noticed that the PPI I have should only have been sold if I was in employment, which I wasn't at the time, I was a student. I called GE Money to request the PPI policy, which they claim not to have a copy of, and when I requested a copy of all my past statements I was informed that a £3 charge PER STATEMENT would apply! I've read other posts on this forum and most people just seem to be sending £10 cheques for this service. Can anyone please help me out with this? Could I just send a reclaim letter without any paperwork to back it up? Any help greatly appreciated!

All companies can and do charge per statement, you need to write asking for all information on your account/s under the Data Protection Act and enclose £10 the maximum they can charge for this information. If you are wanting statements you'll find the template letter for this in the Reclaim Charges article here....
