Where's our money? |

I moved from Bonner's Ferry years ago and I
never got my deposit returned to me from the
City of Bonner's Ferry Utilities. Fast forward about 10 years and I discover my name on a government website regarding funds being held for people that didn't know they had money owed to them. My refund was $50. I jumped through all the correct hoops and it took literally months to get my $50 back. I asked where it was being held all these years, what type of account and how much interest had it accrued. I was also curious about the interest on all the other people's money who were also due refunds all these years because I knew I was not the only one. I want to know how much interest my money accrued all those years it was in the hands of the City of Bonners Ferry. Where is the interest on my money now? Hey, wouldn't that make the interest accrued on my money, my money, too? The City of Bonner's Ferry says "No, of course it isn't your money!" They didn't have an answer when I asked whose money it was. And where it was. Interesting to note: When I moved from Bonners Ferry, I called and had my utilities shut off (of course), and I put in a change of address at the Post Office before I ever left town. My refund was never mailed to me. How do I find out the answers to the above questions? Where is the interest? And how many people are still due back refunds? Where is their money? |
