Thanks for your input. Did you put in a claim to the bank for your losses (your time sorting this out and quantifiable financial loss)? This would be a simple thing to do in the UK [1] as the bank was clearly at fault not you, no matter how convincing the fake ID was. [1] You can fill out this online government form in a few minutes to take them to small claims for a small fee (which you add to your claim) https://www.gov.uk/make-money-claim https://www.gov.uk/make-money-claim

I wish I could put in a claim but I'm in the US :| My identity theft didn't (directly) involve a bank. It was a major retailer where someone opened and maxed out a credit card in my name, a cell phone company where they opened up a new family plan and made off with 4 unlocked iphones, and (later) the Small Business Administration where someone applied for a covid relief loan that got approved for about $100k. Luckily, my credit monitoring instantly caught it and I was able to call and stop dispersal All-in-all I was out a few hours of my time and the cost to make copies and send faxes
