Sooooooo

Out of the 40 odd who have read this thread I wonder how many have clicked on the link. It would be interesting to know :-)

I sent off two. Had a "nothing found" on one, but on another they discovered I had deposited a small amount in National Provincial Bank pension fund. I left their employ in 1969, was studying at University on "secondment" from Nat Prov and didn't even realise they had a non-contributory pension scheme.

Nat Prov became National Westminster soon after. And had changed banks and addresses several times since so I was untraced - mind, I doubt they had tried very hard.

Hope you and others have some luck, Susan. More chance of modest winnings than lottery. And free.

Well, I have sent off for three so far......anyone else going to have a go?


EDIT....Just re-read John's post.......now off to search my own name.....I too had a few jobs and they certainly lasted more than two months......I am beginning to warm to this idea :-D

Ooooooo Off to see if I am rich.....thanks for that>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Good news, Susan with :-D :-D

Have used it. Free and very easy to check. Who knows what we paid in to things when we were very young?

Today I got a surprise when opening the post, a letter from a tracing agency informed me that a company my father worked for asked them to trace those who had paid into a pension scheme. Apparently my Father had payed into one for two months in 1957 after leaving the Army. It only came to £112 but it did make me wonder if there were other pension schemes he had paid into.....He had a few jobs in the early days before he settled.....Maybe some of you will also benefit from getting in touch with companies that your parents worked for.....Just a thought.
