A once-homeless man was able to put a deposit down for a rental home after discovering an old and dormant bank account from his childhood. Now he's urging others to see if they have small fortunes tucked away.
James Smith was 22-years-old when he located the lost bank account with Natwest from his childhood, which his mother had topped up with £10 a month for several years before it became a second thought.
The hidden money came up in James' hour of need though, containing £300 when it was rediscovered - which he eventually used to help put down a deposit on a rental flat.
