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

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?

Come back OP! We need to know!

In a nice way I hope the OP isn't posting because she passed out with happiness at the amount

The OP is probably half way to the Caribbean already 🏝

SunshineCake That rule didn't exist when I was in school.

@LaChatte

The OP is probably half way to the Caribbean already 🏝

Oh yeah, she definitely is😂 she left the kids and the bank and fled I reckon😂😂😂

I think £82.33….

I hope it’s more and you’re busy having a massive shopping spree!!

Oh OP this is exciting. I got a letter from Santander about a dormant account the other day too. Haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Rooting for you 🤞🤞🤞

The ads I'm seeing in this thread are for TUI sun soaked Spanish beaches. Let's hope that's a good sign!

£273.12 exactly

Oh this is very exciting - how I hope for your sake it's £2000 but realistically it'll be £1.29 I suppose

£1467.53 exactly

£1.18

I'm gonna say £2.51 😋

£39.76

I thought your original guess of £4.36 was probably right. Hoping your were a fantastic saver and have £1000 in it.

£38.50

Come on OP! Are you off buying a new car?

OP is definitely on a spending spree right now..or on an aeroplane 😅

OP is never coming back - the money has gone to her head.

Yes she's already forgotten us little people 😂

If you're looking to hire a butler for your new mansion OP, I'm available 😉

This reminds me of a few years ago I went to do an exchange year in the US, but came back after a month and finished my studies here. I was fully refunded my accommodation and meal vouchers at the time.

Fast forward 4 years I received a letter through the post saying the US college had carried out an audit and determined I was owed money. There was an accompanying check for £5,000 in my name!!

Now there was no way I was owed £5,000 as I had been a poor student and ensured I got back every penny I was owed back. The only thing I could think of was as I'm from Scotland and we don't pay tuition fees, but I still had to apply each year for the government to pay my fees so wondering if I'm wondering if the US college gave me money in relation to that.

I didn't ask any further questions, banked the check and nobody has come looking for the money in the subsequent 15 years :-)

OP!

OP!
