I'm off to town today to check a dormant account.

[Itwasgoodwhileitlasted]

I've had a letter from Santander to say I have q dormant Instant Saver account so I am heading into town to find out how much is in there.

Anyone want to help guess?

For background, I opened the account over 15 years ago and at that time was earning about £28k.

I drove a new car and saved up enough to travel the world, but what is left in this forgotten account.

Did I stash a cheeky grand. Or £100 to open it. Or is it empty or maybe containing £4.36.

I'm quite excited.

What do you all think?

72.61

£19.28 allowing for interest

25.43

exciting op will you update us - you may owe the bank money?

Oooo id say £600

13.41

Just under 1 k..

My old passbook savings account I have from where I was 20 has the grand total balance of 11p. I'm surprised the bank don't close it.

57p

175.11

I'm flipping between daydreaming about ££££ to hoping it'll cover new school shoes for DS. Then a rather pessimistic probably bugger all.

A thousand pound would be wonderful right now though!

I will indeed update.

I'm digging out all the paperwork now to prove that I am indeed me.

Am pondering what to give as a prize for the closest guess...

Hmmmm

FWI
£375.55

Mine had £700 in from when I was a student (and scared of dealing with money!). So there may be hope!

£5.35 is my guess. Nothing like this ever happens to me, I'm a bit jealous 😆

Take plenty of ID to prove it is yours.

£32.76

I'm going to say £259 - good luck.

£36.14

£7.61

I forgot one account in a house move when the paperwork got buried abs packed away. Literally ten years later I emptied the box and found it. Nearly £8000!

£12

£780. But an admin charge of £50 to get it.

£7.32

I went to check on an old bank account and it turned out a charity had continued trying to collect a DD from it every month for years. Was a nightmare, hope yours is more straightforward!

Don't want to raise your hopes, OP, but I came across an old passbook a few years ago which I'd forgotten about - it had about £1000 in it.
