this was their excuse to why they won’t delete my info without proof of ID.
I told them no, I told them that if my bank or phone provider or online grocer who all have much more important and sensitive info, namely my payment/bank details, can verify me without extra documentation, so can they, they still said no.
So I’ve filled a complaint with the ICO, there’s fuck all else I can do unfortunately…
