Surplus Money from a House Repossession Sale

If he was employed by a company, could you write to them explaining the situation and ask them to send a letter on?  Enclose a stamped envelope and leave the letter open, so they can check they are not getting into anything 'legal'.

You need him to contact the court not necessarily you.

When the house was sold, do you know if he had a solicitor? If so, could you write to them and explain the situation and ask them to get him to contact the Court?

If the bank had had recent contact with a solicitor representing him (though it seems unlikely they would), the bank would already have tried the solicitors.

The Salvation Army offer a family tracing service. If you feel that having an intermediary would help in re establishing contact.

You were with this person for over ten years.  It seems incredible you aren't able to contact somone who is still in touch with him who will  pass a message on.  His parents, best friend, brother, sister, cousins, school friends, work colleges,the pub he used to frequent. Just last night I found somone via a social media search who I shared a house with for a few months 40 years ago in my first year at college.  You may not be find your ex directly, but surely you can think of somone from his wider circle ?

OP may well be able to follow this good advice, but surely there must be some mechanism in place when the ex shouldn’t be found eg cases of domestic violence, court orders forbidding contact etc.
