What you doing with your Portman windfall?

DistortedVision

I have an Instant Savings Account with Portman opened in 1997 although its been dormant since 1998 its had more than £100 in it. I receive correspondence from Portman including the voting form for the Nationwide merger. However, I've not received a windfall cheque or heard anything since.

I'm assuming that all the windfall cheques were all sent a few months ago so I'm wondering why I didn't receive one. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers.

If u received the voting forms, u were first named on the account and 100.00 + was in account on required date(s), can only be two reasons why u didnt receive the cheque

1. U moved and cheque went to old address.

2. Cheque was sent to correct address but didnt arrive.


If u search "merger" then click "Portman merger questions and answers", then answer "no let me contact you " at the bottom of this page u will have the means to contact nationwide to raise the concern with them

The cheque must been lost in the post. I've emailed them but I'm wondering have I left it too late?

No you haven't left it too late. There will be questions about merger bonus cheques for years and if you are due one you should definitely get the money.

What sort of account was it?
Were you the only person on the account throughout the period up to end Aug 2007?
Did the account drop below £100 at any point up to end Aug 2007?
