Changing my name sounds like a lengthy, legal, expensive process correct?
It's a lengthy process, but it's worth it as long as it has something to do with your image. Aside from those exchanges asking you this question, you also need to go meet the appropriate body in the UK to check your password ID to see if it has been used to commit any crime you know nothing about in order to clear your name on time. Maybe if changing your name can't help, they should be able to figure out a way to revoke your details from wherever they have been registered, maybe by cancelling your document ID and reassigning another one to you. I don't know if that can be done, but if it's possible, I believe that's the best thing to do rather than just changing your name.
You know who are the appropriate body in the UK?
You mean replacing my passport with a new one?
And yes, I mean replacing your passport ID entirely like you got a new one; maybe the same name with a different document ID number or a different name;
Everything depends on what the regulatory agent might advise is best for you to do. It might cost you money and some legal stress, but like I said before, it's worth it.
