Hunt for lucky policyholder
SCOTTISH Widows is trying to trace a policyholder who is due a windfall of over £100,000.
Almost 34,000 people are owed a total of around 70m after failing to claim their payouts when the finance firm demutualised in 2000.
Most are due around 2,000, but one lucky investor – a 64-year-old man– has 102,645 waiting to be collected. He has until March to register his claim.
Graeme Hartop, managing director of Scottish Widows Bank, said: "It's amazing to think someone is sitting on over 102,000 and doesn't know it. We really hope we're able to give him the good news."
Some 1.6 million people qualified for the demutualisation payments.
