I had similar problems with the UK bank. I've had a joint account with my wife since the 80's but when we wanted to move some money into a savings scheme it had to be in her name only since mysteriously she was ' validated' but I wasn't and needed a utility bill or something to get validated - in spite of them knowing I live in the US since they've been mailing statements to me since 1993 !!!!
I think a lot of this issue is related to good oid Uncle Sam's financial regulations they imposed on everyone and total lack of thought in UK systems about expats keeping money there since they might return one day - looking less and less likely for me !!!
