A few years ago my sister had an unexpected windfall from a long forgotten insurance policy - nearly £4,000 . Next day her Mother-in-law's boiler exploded. I think Sis may got some change out of that (and the MiL's house eventually). Similarly my brother took out an insurance policy over 20 years ago, but didn't keep up the payments as he developed ME and had to give up work. The insurance company didn't cancel the policy and said they'd use any bonus pay-outs to fund the subscriptions. Brother assumed all the money had long run out and forgot about it. Until last month when the company finally tracked him down through two former addresses. The policy had matured and was worth several thousands. Last week his car, the all-important means of independence, packed up.
As for me, I got a letter from the Bank today, there was an error in the exchange rate on international transactions on my Mother's account between 2010-2014. She died in 2016 but as executor of her estate I got a cheque for £1.68.
I'm spending that pronto before my siblings find out.
