Copy of "joint" bank application?

[lightandairy56]

Hello,
I suspect my ex (separated) has applied for a joint account with substantial overdraft in both our names and forged my signature to do so.

The bank are not being very forthcoming with details other than to say it was a paper application , not online but they won't send me a copy of it.

I would like written proof of the application.

Does anyone know the name of the section of GDPR - or the correct name any other law- that I can quote in my letter to the bank to make them send me a copy of the original application so I can see whose handwriting it is in and what my so-called "signature" looks like on there?

I cannot afford to see a solicitor about this and need to get this sorted out urgently so want to write to the bank today.

Many thanks

Can you try Experian? That would show all credit applications applied for and credit agreements in place where you are the customer. As it may not be the first/only time he has done this.

Is it a traditional bank with branches? If so I would visit with photo ID and ask the Q's face to face. Explain if a product has been opened it has been done so without your consent

Make a Subject Access Request to the bank - the application should be included in what they send you. They should redact your husbands details though.
