They are in fact allowed up to 40 days to send you your data. It does not affect your actual credit rating although they may put something on your personal file which may affect future lending with them exclusively, like 'difficult customer' or such like. Don't know anyone who has had their account shutdown although I am told this does happen occasionally as an act of spite, pathetic really.

Thing is the Banks are all gonna get it all back anyway when they start charging us a monthly fee for using their services.
They'll start charging, but, just like your gas and electricity supplies, if you keep on top of the situation you'll always find someone offering either cheap or free services - it'll just mean having to change your bank every so often.
