My psw application was also refused back in May on maintenance grounds. I also submited additional evidence, but nobody has ever said that my new evidence was not genuine. And I know quite a few people in the UK who also did exactly the same, and their appeals were allowed without any problems.
I believe, there was a reason for the judges to insist that your statements were false. They could have tried to verify the information on the foreign statements, but were unsuccessful.
If you know for 100 per cent that the statements you provided were genuine, you can ask your overseas bank to provide some fresh print outs with a new cover letter and a stamp from the bank on each page. Also include phone numbers and contact person names of your local branch. If this information can be verified by an independent investigator, your appeal should be allowed.
If however, the High Court dismisses your re-consideration, you could very well be blamed in deception. No criminal charges would apply in this case, but you could be consequently banned from applying again for a certain period of time. So, it is in your best interests to show more information to the judge in order to convince him that you didn't do any wrong doing.
My personal opinion is that if you now submit a fresh application to the HO, it will be refused because it is uncertain at this stage if your additional evidence was falcificated or not. So, it is likely the HO would want to know the outcome of this re-consideration first. So, try to get more information from your overseas bank and argue your case well.
Good luck.
