I am not going to mention any names but about 5 weeks ago I took out a finance contract with a certain electrical company for a laptop. A direct debit was set up for over a two year period I provided them with my bank details alongside photocopies of my passport and driving license N.I number and birth certificate. They have since contacted me to inform me that they have lost or have no record of the finance agreement, they are now asking me to provide all my details again and sign another contract.
What I would like to know is there a legal obligation to provide such information again to them?

You have a laptop that you have not paid for. Do you think its ok to keep something that you have not paid for?
I think your hoping that someone will say no you dont legally have to provide the information and you can keep the laptop.0 -
You could offer to provide them copies of your agreement. If you sign another agreement, make damn sure they cancel the first.0

Yes, i think i would do just what PopeSock say, just send them a copy of your agreement, nothing else.
I cant honestly understand why they would want a copy of your passport, yor NI number and birth certificate
