I don't know where my ISA is..

Help!

Maybe I just got confused, but I thought I had two cash ISAs, and can only find one. I've searched my email and checked some sites but to no avail. My paperwork is in a mess at my parents house, and I won't be visiting for a while. I don't suppose HMRC or whoever have a record of what you have open?

HMRC can't even find records for things that they are supposed to record so I think your chances of a result there are about the same as in last week's US Lottery draw!

Its about the time of year that any ISA company will be in touch with you to tell you that your ISA is not full, or do you want to change it to a better rate. Further into April you will get a letter saying how much you have in it and your interest so if there is one you'll get to know soon.

Has the OP bothered to tell his ISA provider(s) that he is no longer living at home/his previous address/addresses?
Is there perhaps only one provider where he has stashed two years' worth of allowance?
Perhaps if he examines his bank statements for the last two tax years he might find the answer? But perhaps these too are "in a mess" at mum and dad's place....

Ring mum and ask if she'll kindly go through the "mess" in search of enlightenment?

heh. i've studied the statements etc, managed to find some santander documentation that i had here (see, i am organised!), and i guess i have just set it up and totally forgot to deposit. no sign of depositing into a different isa. whoops. panic time.

looks like a hassle to get money into santander so i believe i'll use 'self-trade' and nab the free amazon vouchers..
