At various times in my career I have paid into insurance schemes connected to the company I was working for, when I left the company none of them made the slightest effort to contact me and find out what I wanted to do with MY money that I had left in their safe keeping and to this day it has just disappeared. Best to keep any money you have under the mattress. |

I heard recently about this great new invention for keeping contact with people - in fact several. They are called the telephone, the postal service, and more recently, email. Stop whingeing and take responsibility for your life. I realized recently that I had some money tied up with a company I worked for 30 years ago. I wrote to them and now know (a) what money I am owed, and (b) when I will be able to get it - all for the price of a stamp. |

Perhaps you should have made better provision 40 years ago, rather than just waiting for someone to pick up the pieces now. |
