What do I do with this??

So I was having a cleanup this evening, going thorugh a load of old documents when I stumbled upon this National Savings Investment Account book. I vaguely remember it from my childhood, not a lot in it but there should be 15 years of interest if the account is still open.

Any ideas where can I take it to get it updated? Vaguely recall the post office may have been involved here? Had a quick look online but the National Savings website is a tad unhelpful and doesn't show this type of account.

Just phone NS&I and ask?

A quick google reveals that you need to get in touch with NS&I.

Yup the post office will update it for you.

There is a chance that they will just ask you to get in touch with NS&I.

Why, when an organisation's website doesn't provide a solution, do posters come to a forum and ask their question instead of calling the place in question? I just don't get the thinking.

"Oh, their website doesn't exactly answer my question so instead of calling and actually talking to someone, I'll post on an internet forum." What?

Lmao. So true.

"National Savings... Hmm... What do I do...? I know, post on Overclockers, that computing internet forum!". Hahahaha.

Well I was planning to ring them tomorrow anyway. But seeing as it's not in office hours I thought I'd see if the wonderfully helpful and non-cynical members might be able to shed any more light on the matter for an impatient soul such as myself.

Thanks for the speedy replies

because its quick and easy and some people may have personal experience with dealing with the matter and could end up bypassing some hurdles they might otherwise not have known about?

I believe the National Savings investment accounts are still being run (the normal accounts closed). The post office will be able to help you update the book, usually by giving you the form and envelope to send it to NS&I.

Source: I ran a post office for a year.

None of those threads are asking for advice when I can't be bothered to call an organisation when their website doesn't give me the answer. I don't understand your point.

This point I do take. Time difference fail on my part.
