Bank gave out unauthorised statements to someone who wasn't me!

Apologies if this posted in the wrong section, obvious noob.

Recently my father lodged some money into my persona current account. He walked out the door with my bank statements in hand. I logged a complaint with the bank. The complaints guy on the phone said he was logging a complaint and putting a note that I wanted an explanation (what I asked for) and compensation (his suggestion).

What I'm wondering now is if this has happened anyone before and what happened? Also, does anyone have a rough idea of what they might offer? And what I should accept?

    If they paid money in to your account.

    How did they end up with a bank statement.

    I could understand a receipt for the transaction but not a bank statement.

    I'm reasonably sure that my bank has never given any of my bank statements to your father, although if I find out they have I'll make a complaint.

    I don't know how he ended up with them! As far as I can deduce he must have asked and they have them to him! I'm 24.

    Perhaps your dad impersonated you.

    I can understand that you aren't very happy with your bank, but I have a feeling you should be even less happy with your dad

    So what happend when you said "How did you get those?"

    Banks don't just hand over statements, you need to ask for them and there's usually a charge.
