    go into the post office they will give you a form to fill in asking for as much details you can give eg
    name
    address
    branch of the post office account opened etc.

    it can take about a month but they found my daughters account this way.

    hope this helps

    On reading this thread - it reminds me of a post office account I had when I was about 10 (23 Years ago). Cant remeber if I left much in it (may £10 or so). Never really done anything about it. Would it be worth following it up?

    Go to the Post Office and ask them for help.

    Then find you caps lock key and apply it - it makes it so much easier for the rest of us to read it if you do :)

    And welcome to the fourm!
