## Formal Request for Rectification and Subject Access Request under UK GDPR for Council Tax Account ABC12345678

[Officer's Name]

[Address]
[City, Postal Code]

Dear Officer,

I am writing to formally request rectification and submit a subject access request under the UK GDPR for Council Tax Account ABC12345678.
My purpose for contacting you is to ensure accurate and up-to-date information regarding the residence of my parents, Mr. HIJ and Ms. XYZ, at the address 'XXXX' since June 10, 2022.
Currently, our address accommodates four individuals. I kindly request that you update the account to reflect these occupants accurately.

The revised list of occupants for our address is as follows:
1. Mr. ABC
2. Ms. EFG
3. Mr. HIJ
4. Ms. XYZ

We would greatly appreciate your prompt assistance in adding these named occupants to our council tax account.
This is essential as we require official documentation from the local council to validate our residence at this address for settlement purposes.
It is important to note that, due to my parents' advanced age (both over 75), they are not eligible for National Insurance numbers.
Consequently, the Council tax bill serves as a vital document to establish their residence status in the UK.

Your understanding of our situation and the significance of adding my parents as named occupants is deeply appreciated.

Additionally, I kindly request a cover letter, featuring the Council's logo, to be sent to our address.
This letter should enumerate all the named occupants residing at the aforementioned address.

As a reminder, under the UK GDPR, individuals have the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified or completed if it is incomplete.
An individual can make a request for rectification verbally or in writing, and the controller has one calendar month to respond to such a request.
I kindly request that you respond to my request within the stipulated time frame.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
I look forward to receiving your response at your earliest convenience.

Best,

[Your Name]
[Your Address]
