HMRC does not have records of, nor have they made any estimations of, CTF accounts where the main contact of the CTF has lost their details, or where the main contact is not aware of the details of their CTF. CTF providers are required in legislation to send out regular statements to the registered contact for the account.

However, although the primary relationship is between the account provider and the child’s parents, if a parent doesn’t know which provider is managing their child’s account, they can use the following online form to track the account.
