Document background
The Deletion Letter Collection Agency document is utilized when an individual wishes to exercise their right to erasure under UK data protection laws. This document becomes relevant when dealing with collection agencies who may be holding personal data related to debt collection activities. The letter must comply with requirements set forth in the UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, and FCA regulations. It's particularly important in cases where debts are settled, disputed, or statute-barred, and the individual seeks to have their personal information removed from the agency's records. The document is specific to England and Wales jurisdiction and must include clear identification details, account information, and legal basis for the deletion request.
