There is already a topic regarding this issue.
general-uk-immigration-forum/uk-banks-t ... 39900.html
You should be aware that JR is outside the scope of the Immigration Rules. You would need JR to be successful in your favour to not have any adverse effects.

It may be worth merging this thread into the earlier one, as it is not ILR specific anyway.
I am not a lawyer or immigration advisor. My statements/comments do not constitute legal advice. E&OE. Please do not PM me for advice.

How can people check whether they are on the list held by HO?

I have merged your post to the the existing topic already started some time ago.
Likely no way you can check the list. If you don't have legal status and you have a bank account, you are probably on the list if you are known to HO.

I got a notice from my bank saying I need to supply evidence of my identity and residency.
I am not a resident in the UK. I opened the account when I lived in the UK, but I do not currently live there. Previously my US address was on the account but I needed my new bank card when I was in the UK so I had to change it to my friend's flat to get the card delivered.
I'm a bit confused about this notice -- if I change my address to a non-UK address, is that enough to get them to leave me alone? I can prove that I do not live in the UK and have visas to prove I have been living elsewhere. I don't want to close the bank account, though, because I will be back in the UK in 2019 (legally, natch).

This is not relevant to the immigration issue discussed. The FCA recently demanded that ALL banks must confirm the identity/addresses of their account holders. This is separate from the HO requirements. Call your bank and ask if you can provide non UK address.
Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice

Guys nothing to be worry about , if you have valid pending application it won’t effect on your accounts. Basically home office will be providing information to CIFAS for peoples with subject to remove and all appeals rights finished and absconded from reporting office etc. CIFAS linked to credit history when bank will do credit search or immigration search and information for individual who are subject to remove will come up and bank will take from there according to their instructions. Home office will not provide any information for the person who is in system with pending applications or appeals. But why too much worry just keep very limited funds in accounts lol
