I don't understand this because every time you write a cheque you are giving people that information. In order to set up a DD surely they needed his password to do it online or to sign in his name to do it in branch. If they did the latter then the bank is at fault because the signature is forgery. If they did the former then they knew more than the info he provided.

And as for not revealing who did it due to the data protection act that's barmy. It's fraud for goodness sakes. The criminal shouldn't be protected, the customer should.
