Dear Gurpreet
The deadline for us to provide you with the information you requested expires today. However I am writing to explain that the data is currently going through a validation process, which has not yet been finished, which means we are unable to provide you with a formal response yet.
As we are breaching the statutory 20 working-day timeframe, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioners Office via their website: at https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/. However, before you take that decision, we hope you will be willing to allow us some extra time to complete the validation process.
I am so sorry for the delay but please rest assured that we are still working to provide you with our formal response as soon as possible
Kind regards
