There’s no doubt that household bills are the scourge of the daily grind, so when a refund of some sort is available you think it would be seized.
Yet Patrick Adamson, the Network Tasman Trust secretary, advises that consumers have thousands of dollars in unclaimed distribution cheques.
On 1 December, 2017, Network Tasman Trust distributed to consumers 35,012 cheques with a total value of $3,124,160. As of 28 May, 2018, approximately 2,000 cheques totalling $190,000 had not been cashed by consumers.
The Trust is anxious to ensure that all receive their entitlement and Patrick urges consumers to present their cheques as soon as possible.
Once cheques are six months old banks will not accept them, but the Trust will re-issue them for up to five years from the original date of issue.
The Trust is calling time on issuing cheques and any future distributions made will be credited onto your power account.
If you have a stale cheque please contact Alicia or Patrick at the Trust’s office at Craig Anderson Ltd, 270a Queen Street, Richmond, 03 544 6179, reception@caca.co.nz
Spread the love.
