    I;m a bit confused by this post?
    My account hasn't been closed, it's been frozen. And I haven't been turned down by any other banks, it's just Santander. They opened this account about 6 weeks ago with only electronic ID checks. Then, when they'd transferred all the DDs and I'd paid money in, they suddenly blocked the account and asked for impossible ID. (The details are on the other thread.)
    I wish they WOULD close it and return my money.

    I really don't see in what way I have 'burnt my bridges'.
    If Santander or the credit reference agencies or the fraud prevention agencies have incorrect information about me, they can be made to correct it under the data protection act, surely?

    Sorry, the op mentioned fraud, money laundering and blocked accounts. My error.
