How can I get bank to send me copy of 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

Contact the bank's fraud department and explain the situation. Has the account definitely been opened or do you just suspect that it has been? If you know that it has, you may need to contact the police (on 101, not 999) and get an incident number / crime reference number.

Seeing the paperwork won't actually help you, either you opened it or you were a victim of fraud, it makes no difference who opened it.
