Homer Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I've been doing a bit of clearing out and found some old bank books. Some have only £20-£50 in, but this was in the early 80's. They're in my name, but is it even possible to claim money from accounts this old? I've had a bit of a read on moneysavingexpert but couldn't find any clear answers... The banks have all long since been taken over by others (e.g National Savings Bank, which was part of the old post office) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 You could always call the new bank and ask their advice? Failing that, a balaclava and a replica pistol should be enough for a "withdrawal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well you should be still entitled to that money, I'd get in contact with the new owners as mention above, could be worth a few hundred pounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
