Identity Theft Legal Steps

Summary

If youre dealing with identity theft and data mishandling by Santander and the ICO, report the issue to Action Fraud and contact Santander for an investigation. If dissatisfied, reach out to the Financial Ombudsman Service. For data mishandling, file a complaint with the ICO and consider legal advice from a solicitor specializing in data protection. If the ICO refuses to investigate, appeal their decision with additional evidence. Check the ICOs data retention policies and consult a solicitor for further guidance.
