my sister was hit by a car a woman actually died and she was compensated ( she got hit by the car when she was 2)
and my mam said � 200 was the compensation 14 years later .

maybe you can find out about the money for the compansation by checking through the local papers for the time. It may have been reported at that time. Although dont you think that the money would have given as compensation towards the cost of looking after a child with a broken leg? rather than actually for the child later on.
As for the bonds, do you know how much your grandad gave her for the bonds? I cant see that theres much that you do about it as you cant prove that the money was intended for that.

There is not much I can do about the bond now although it has opened my eyes!!
My grandad used to say if earnie picks your numbers !
I only found out cos I emailed premium bonds and they could find my sisters and not mine or my bro's so Mam had to admit it ( i never had a clue)
And for the other thing the compensation was for my sis not for looking after her deffo I know that much, but Weve never seen any paperwork or anything we are just wondering how she can find out how much she was awarded and wheather my sis was awarded �200 at the time but my mother has kept some of it ?

Obviously I don't know what your mother is like but were your family short of money when you were young?
It may be she used the money to buy food for the family with it intending to pay it back later and then forgot.
I only say that because I once had to use my son't birthday money because we were so broke - my son knows that I did and I have since paid the money back into his building society, I didn't like doing it but it was that or my son didn't eat, so maybe she is not as bad as you think she is.

as i said, check the papers to see if it was reported on. But if the money was specified to be for your sister only i cant see why it wasnt put in a trust or something for her to ensure that your parents didnt spend it on caring for her, cost of travelling to hospital appts, doctors appts, perhaps having to buy a pushchair etc.
Id be inclined to think as Hellyon does that this money went towards bringing you up. Have you asked your dad what he knows?

my dad also made out that we had one each!
He does as he's told.
Ive found out from my aunt that the �200 was awarded when she was 2 years old and thats all she got .
I know my lad broke his wrist a small fracture he got awarded �2000 and by 3 years it had gone up to �5000.
My mother would have been given the money as far as my sis is concerned cos she was given it when she was 16 , still a minor see.

you dont say how old your sister is but award was obviously at least 14 years ago. Things were different then, people werent awarded thousands of pounds in legal cases unless their lives had been changed by the accident.
If your aunt said it was �200 then why are you querying it, dont you trust her eiher?

why? If you find out your mum lied, so what? As you've already stated you know she's lied so you wont be in any better or worse position. If you find out she kept some money are you going to sue her for it? (how ridiculous!)
if you find out she is telling the truth is it going to make you trust her, despite the fact she's lied about other things?
What a waste of time and effort on your part, and only contributing to bad feeling.
Premium bonds are 1 pound each, so if your grandad gave your mum a pound and she spent it it's hardly the crime of the centuary is it? (you used to be able to buy individual bonds, but now you have to buy a minimum of 100)

ive told you to look in local papers
your aunt has told you how much it was
you could also see if you can find out which solicitor, if any, acted for her. They will probably charge but may have the info archived somewhere.
I dont think bednobs reply was bitter at all. Blunt perhaps but its pretty much what i think too.
if you are not looking to sue your mother, then why cant you just sit down with her and ask for honest answers

and if you are think of report me think of this .... your mother made a mistake she was short .. no mother would take her daughters money unless she was in a mess..and she has to live with that.. but my god talk about rub your nose in it !!!.. just read what you put .. and tell me its not about money money money !!....my father died 4 years ago he told me before he died he has a large insurance...when he died my mum said theres no money we all know she lied .. but who carers i dont ...she spends spends spends on things she will never use ! but my dad loved her and if it makes her happy . good on her ....i never questioned the insurance to her at all .. she is my mum and i love her ..end of subject...the love i have for my mother is far more important than money....
When I was a kid, my paternal grand parents were VERY wealthy (I'm talking several houses, land, vineyards...etc), and my dad used to put money in a savings account for my brother and me. When my mum left my father I was 8. She moved to another part of the country, and as she had been a housewife all these years since getting married, she couldn't find a job and she struggled to bring me up, with no help from my dad whatsoever. She took the money from my savings account, and I only found out when I remembered about it several years later. So what? The money was used to bring me up, not for her benefit! It's not like she used it to fund luxurious habits or a drug addiction, is it?? I'm glad she used that money and I wouldn't think of giving her grief about it today! I don';t know what your particular circumstances are, but it sounds like you have issues with your mum that have little to do with money to begin with, and maybe you should concentrate on solving these first. Bitterness and resentment will do you no good.
i dont think you are asking just for your sister hence "we are now wondering..."
you ask if there would have been interest on it - there might have been but only if it had been put in a bank account that paid interest. if for examle it had been kept as cash under the bed, it would not have gained any interest. If it was just in a normal bank account then interest would have been very minimal
200 pounds in a current account over 14 years might attract an interest rate of say 0.1% (to take lloyds bank for an example) my maths is a bit dodgy but i make that 20 p interest a year x 14 years making about �2.80 in 14 years (if you dont count compound interest)
you say that the 2000 pounds your son got "went up"to 5000 in 3 years - how did that happen, it just multiplied did it?? bank accounts simply dont work like that! if you could more than double your money in 3 years everyone would put all they had into a bank account and leave it there!
but maybe your mum didnt have the luxury of a bank account? maybe she spent the money when she needed to thinking "ill give her 200 pounds when she is 16" in that case the money wouldn't have earned any interest either
you say "And for the other thing the compensation was for my sis not for looking after her deffo I know that much, but Weve never seen any paperwork or anything"
how do you know for definate then?
i just honestly cant see where getting an answer will get you, as youve already said you are "deverstated" at how decietful your mum is, how can it make you feel either better or worse to have it reconfirmed or denied?
if you say you believe your aunt it was 200 quid, and your sister got 200 quid, i cant see what your problem is AT ALL.
so, at the end of all this i have 1 question i beg you to answer - how did your sons money increase, and where can i join?
