<prompt> Human: My mom bought some CDs for my kids several years ago at National City. She held on to the paperwork for several years, then gave me the paperwork a couple years ago. I saw that the CDs were marked to reinvest at maturity. I wasnt a member of National City and didnt realize that they had been bought out or merged with PNC at some point. Since the CDs were marked to reinvest, I just held on to them. Flash forward to last week. I was getting some finances in order and decided to see about cashing the CDs in and moving them to a better investment for our girls such as a 529. I see that National City is now PNC. I take the CDs in, but they have no record of the account numbers. The CDs are in my moms name, so she has to take it from there. She is currently getting bounced between our local PNC branch and their online call center. Her last communication was with a manger that said the money is probably just gone and that they purge records from time to time. Their advice was to work though a state webpage Michigan for lost or unclaimed money. Any advice? I have the original signed documents with the deposit amounts, terms, and account numbers.TL;DRHave documentation for 7-year old CDs. Original bank merged with PNC, who now says the money is just gone.Update:Thanks for all the suggestions! The money is not listed in state or federal unclaimed property sites. After a long meeting with the bank manager there are no records of anything - even that my mom ever had an account. They escalated the issue to some sort of investigation department and seem to be taking things seriously. Ill post ifwhen there are other developments.My new word for the day: escheatment.Assistant: Have you looked in the states treasurers lost property search? It is possible that these funds ended up with the state treasurers office. Many states have easily searchable websites for lost property that is in possession of the state.Human: Thanks for the reply. My mom is actually going to meet with the manager at PNC today and they are going to help her with that. Fingers crossed!  <response>: Dude, you say in the post thats what the bank recommended as the solution, but you decide to ask here without checking it out. Then the top response is to just check the unclaimed database, and you just blow it off and say she will check with the bank again. You literally could have checked on there quicker than writing this post, and you can check for any other funds while youre at it. I dont mean to sound like a dick, Im just confused by your aversion to checking the state website. I mean just reading this post is making me go check again, and I dont know of any potential missing funds.
