Tracing Lost Assets

Lost track of an old pension, insurance policy or bank account? Paul Lewis and a panel of guests help listeners trace their lost assets.

Have you lost track of an old pension fund, insurance policy, current or savings account? Call 03700 100 444 between 1pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk now.

Around Β£20bn worth of unclaimed assets are held by UK financial institutions, including millions of pounds in forgotten bank and building society accounts, unpaid insurance policies, lost pensions and premium bonds.

So how do you find out if any of this money is yours?

Who do you approach and what happens if the company which looked after your money no longer exists?

Are there time limits for making a claim and how long will it take to get a result?

Will you have to pay or can you search free of charge?

Perhaps you've tried to trace a lost account without success and need some help to solve the problem?

Whatever your question or experience let us know. Paul Lewis and guests will be here on Wednesday to help reunite you with your lost assets.

Joining Paul will be:

James Jones, Unclaimed Assets Register.
Fiona McEvoy, My Lost Accounts.
Michelle Cracknell, The Pensions Advisory Service.

Call 03700 100 444 between 1pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk now. Standard geographic charges apply. Calls from mobiles may be higher.
