I hate to break it to you, but it is more than likely that the account was frozen many years ago, not accruing lovely untouched interest.The original amount would be in a pile of "lost" money the bank has and it can a real nightmare to access this. you need to weigh up the time and effort needed to wade through 16 years of bank beaurocracy against the amount you are trying to get. at £5 its not worth it. |

Visit the bank, or whoever bought the bank if the original one has been sold. |

Hard to say how much interest you have acrued as if i am right if the account has not been active for a while it may have been "frozen" by the bank. I can't tell you if it has definitely been frozen or not because you didn't say what type of savings account it was. IE ISA Instant, access 30 day withdrawal notice etc. Also you don't say whether or not you recieve statements with this account. Also as it dates back such a long time you may have dificulty proving your identity to the bank. |

Banks usually charged a certain amount for dormant accounts, therefore, whatever was left on your bank account has long been used up deducting this dormancy charges until it reached zero balance. |

Take it to the bank and ask. They'll trace it on the computer. Mind you, I had the same with HSBC, went in and they said they couldn't find it, give us another quid and we'll open you a new account.
Cheeky duckers. |

Contact the bank.You may not have anything. Usually, banks will close inactive accounts after 7 years |
