Old Account with the Woolwich

luvtv

I have just come across an old bank account I opened in 1977 with a gift I had received of £500

I still have the £500 on deposit The Woolwich Branch I held it at is now a trendy bar

Can I get my money back? Who own the Woolwich now?

Any assistance will be much appreciated

I have moved address 4 times since I opened it

ehlo

Woolwich is now owned by Barclays. It is probably best for you to use http://www.mylostaccount.org.uk/

Ask if you are entitled to any shares following their demutualisation too.

I suspect you've missed the cut of date though.

Try this.......

All unclaimed Woolwich shares were sold and the cash ringfenced in October 2000, since when dividends have been added. It now totals around £19.6m. Anyone who may still have assets to claim will have been a Woolwich customer before the flotation was announced in January 1996 and would have needed to keep their accounts through to flotation in July 1997. Not all accounts made a customer eligible for shares - current accounts, for example, were excluded. Anyone with a claim should contact Assets Reunited, the company acting on Woolwich's behalf in this matter, on 0870 429 2432.
