Hello Mr Buckler,
Thank you for your email.
I appreciate that you are seeking further clarification regarding the records associated with Great House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough, and whether any evidence exists to demonstrate what may have happened to historical records relating to the property.
As outlined in our previous correspondence, we have undertaken searches using the information you have provided. Despite these searches, we have been unable to locate any records relating to either the property or yourself on our current systems. Based on the information available, our position remains that we do not hold any records relating to Great House Farm (Ty Mawr).
You have asked whether records may have existed historically and whether we can provide evidence showing if and when such records were deleted. Unfortunately, as no records relating to the property have been located, we do not hold any corresponding account information, customer records, deletion logs, or audit records that would enable us to confirm whether particular documents once existed or the circumstances in which they may have been removed.
As previously explained, our enquiries indicate that Great House Farm was demolished during the 1980s. Any customer or property records from that period would fall well outside our applicable retention periods and, consequently, would not be expected to remain available today. Furthermore, during the migration to our current operating systems, not all historic information was transferred from legacy systems. As a result, we are unable to access or recover records that are no longer held.
Whilst I appreciate that this may be frustrating, the absence of records means we are unable to verify whether specific documents once existed, whether they were subsequently removed in accordance with retention requirements, or provide documentary evidence of their deletion. We can only disclose information that is currently held by the company and, following the searches completed, no information relating to the property has been identified.
For clarity, our position is not that records have been located and are being withheld. Rather, despite conducting further searches using the information available, we have been unable to identify any records relating to the property within the scope of your request.
Consequently, there is no further information that we are able to provide in relation to Great House Farm (Ty Mawr).
Outcome
I appreciate that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for. However, our position remains unchanged, as we do not hold any information relating to the property and are therefore unable to provide any further details regarding its historical records.
Lastly, using the information you have provided, my colleague arranged for the £20.00 GSS payment to be issued to your address at [address redacted], [postcode redacted]. The payment should be delivered within 7 days.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch by replying to this email, or by calling Customer Care on [phone redacted], available Monday to Friday between 9:00am and 4:00pm. Alternatively, you can contact our Billing Department on [phone redacted], available Monday to Friday between 8:00am and 6:00pm, and Saturday between 9:00am and 1:00pm.
Kind regards
Daniel
