Tracking down Premium Bonds

Have you had any luck in tracking down missing or forgotten Premium Bonds? Perhaps you had some as a child and have rediscovered them? I am looking for case studies who have discovered prize winnings from Premium Bonds for the Daily Mail. Thank you!

Billions of pounds lay dormant in forgotten Premium Bonds, awaiting reclamation. I recently discovered a £1000 bond given to me a few years ago - it was like finding money at the back of a sofa. For anyone that doesn't know the details of their bonds, NS&I offers the 'My Lost Account' service whereby anyone can initiate a free search for their lost bonds by filling out a single form - it takes about a month for NS&I to respond. Remember that the NS&I provides a prize-checking tool to determine if unclaimed rewards, totaling over £79 million. However, if a dispute arises, the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) can always help with resolution. Premium Bond holders, NS&I.
