You could of course issue a request under the Data Protection Act for the release of all documents and correspondence in relation to your tax liabilities but it might be more cost effective to again ask for sight of the letter allegedly issued to an agent that was not acting for you and say that if they will not release a copy then you will be making an application under the DPA in advance of requesting an Independent Review. You could always say that you are requesting an Independent Review but in order to prepare your full case you require a copy of the alleged Agent Letter so that you can make appropriate enquiries in support of your contentions as to your non-receipt.
You could also point out that until you receive your copy you are disadvantaged in preparing your grounds for review and this can only suggest to you that there is some reason for their lack of transparency in relation to this whole matter.
You could also suggest that allegedly issuing an enquiry notice to an agent that they knew was no longer acting (assuming that you can show that they knew this or no agent was shown on the completed tax return) suggests a breach of confidentiality and a lack of proper care and attention by them in relation to the alleged issue of enquiry notices.
