Did anyone else have one of those saving money accounts at school when you were little?
I had one at primary school and I found my savings book the other day... I think the account is still open and I've got something like a fiver in there.
It's not the bank I use now.. And I'm not sure what I do to get the money and close the account.
I think they'll think I'm a bit strange walking in to the bank and showing them my savings thing from well over 10 years ago.
I assume I'd need to prove that I'm the same person, but I don't know how cos it wasn't done by signature or anything cos I was only about 9 when I opened the account.

I think its about 15 years or something silly.
If you still have the savings book, go into the current verison of the bank (Lloyds and TSB mergered quite years ago and Midland Bank is now HSBC) taking your passport/driving licence and a copy of birth certificate if you have it to hand. Go to the counter and explain the situation, they should be able to find out if the account is still open, what the balance is and then explain how to close it.
