Mylostaccount

Hi Guys, don't know if this website is of any use to any of you, but its been set up for people to chase up old dormant bank accounts before the government takes the money. It's completely free of charge and they do all the legwork for you.

I don't think I've got any dormant accounts but you never know. Just google it and see if there's any money out there for you.
