FOUND $4000 OF LOST SUPERANNUATION
Recently, I received information from my accountant about SuperSeeker.
It
is a free service on the Australian Taxation Office website that
searches for lost superannuation. The URL is (www.ato.gov.au/super). I
gave
it a try and found $4000.When you get onto their website there is a link to SuperSeeker on the
right
hand side and once some personal details have been entered (Tax File
Number, name and date of birth), it will list any possible matches for
lost
superannuation funds, along with the phone number of the fund so that
you
can follow it up.As I’ve had a few jobs in the past I decided to give it a go. I came up
with two possible matches and after making both phone calls I’m happy
to
say that I am going to roll over into my current fund almost $4,000
that I
didn’t even know I had!A little advice! I had some trouble getting onto the website during
business hours (just busy I imagine) so I tried at night and had no
problem. Also, I found it beneficial to have my resume handy because
when
you get in touch with the Fund they do ask you some questions to make
sure
you are the right person the super belongs to. I was asked who my
employer
was between two certain years by one fund, and by the other what street
I
had lived in in a certain suburb. But don’t worry, it’s not a test – if
you
need to do a bit of checking (or remembering), you can always phone
them back.“Money is a currency, like electricity and it requires momentum to make it Effective”

I had the same problem. I went onto the ATO site and did not find anything but i found a company called http://www.catchmysuper.com.au who found my lost superannuation. I think it cost $55 or something minimal. I knew i had super out there!! 4k now hopefully will be alot when i need it
Cheers

I owe you a beer. I just found $1200. I thought I had rolled all my previous super into my current fund.
We can share a beer when I retire at 55 in another 15 years. By then it should be worth a couple of beers.
It will be interesting to see how much it all adds upto (your $4000 + yacks $1200 + sis $90)
Cheers
