Can Bank of Ireland reject my application because I live in England?

They also offered me an "amicable settlement" of £75 to conclude the matter which I have written back rejecting as I don't feel it doesn't resolve the situation and in any case given how much they have messed me about it seems a very low amount to offer to settle the situation. I have therefore informed them that I am escalating it to the financial ombudsman which will be interesting.

The Financial Ombudsman doesn't have the power to compel the bank to open an account for you, if that's what you mean by "resolve the situation".

I know that but hopefully I will get a better answer than "Equifax has flagged you up" then "Our commerically sensitive computer system says no" and finally "we have messed you around for 3 months and screwed up wasting a lot of you time so here is £75 now get lost"
