Did the letter give any indication what time was being suggested with the use of "soon"?The bank sent her a letter a week after she died saying that as there was no activity in the account it will soon become dormant and the state will take it.
Was any activity carried out on her visit?...as she was in the bank 3 years ago.
No there was no transaction 3 years ago, there was a transaction in 2001. That was only 7 years since the last transaction. I also read a website that said checking an account meant it was active.Was any activity carried out on her visit?
From reading the OP I had assumed that the last activity was in 2001, as visiting a bank wouldn't always suggest to me that any transaction/deposit/withdrawal actually happened.
I'd double check the information provided by the website.No there was no transaction 3 years ago, there was a transaction in 2001. That was only 7 years since the last transaction. I also read a website that said checking an account meant it was active.
I'm not saying the information isn't correct (there is a 2005 ammendment to the act so potentially that has included further details), but on my reading of the above the account in question would be 7 years without "activity".7.—An account shall be deemed to be a dormant account where, during the dormancy period, no transaction on the account has been effected by the account holder.
