Although £51.6bn is a huge amount, it is a gradual result of everyday life getting in the way of personal administrative tasks for millions of savers.
Simply speaking, it is often difficult to keep track of everything and when juggling work, family, day-to-day chores and still making enough time to relax, it’s easy to forget about your first bank account, a child trust fund from a great grandparent or an old pension pot you were saving into several job moves ago. For example:
