Did my ex partner forge my signature?

Looking at my internet banking today I noticed that the joint account we shared had disappeared from the screen. I rang the bank and they said that I had been taken off the account but wouldn't give me any more details. So what I want to know is -

a) Does taking someone off a joint account in the UK require a signature?

and

b) What can I do about the forgery?

    You will be told nothing on the phone as you could be anybody.

    You need to go into your bank with ID and talk to them.

    In the UK, your name cannot be taken off the account.

    I don't know how banks work in the UK, but in the US, a person cannot be taken off of a joint account.

    I would think you would have to sign to have your name removed from a joint account because you would have to agree to give up ownership of whatever money is available in the account.

    theres not a lot of information here but i do think its possible if he was the person who created the joint account.
