Madam, – Every month our business receives bank statements which the bank informs us it is “legally required” to send out. We have two separate electronic systems by which our business downloads bank transactions daily, and the bank charges for this facility.
However, there must be many companies in the same position as ours, where unnecessary paper data is still being received by post, which is charged for, and there is then a cost in disposing of that material (not to mention the waste of bank resources in sending out the unwanted material in the first place).
Surely this asinine requirement belongs to a previous era and should be dispensed with immediately? – Yours, etc,
