Martin Lewis has urged more than one million Brits to claim a refund of up to £54 before the end of the week.
The Money Saving Expert has revealed that people can claim a refund of power of attorney fees before Sunday.
In his weekly newsletter on MoneySavingExpert, Martin urged people not to lose out on free cash as the deadline is set at one minute past midnight on February 1.
A power of attorney lets you appoint one or more people to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.
The Ministry of Justice announced that people who paid to register one in England or Wales between April 1 2013 and March 31 2017 were owed money fees were too high.
In response the government department set up a scheme where people can reclaim cash, reports the Birmingham Mail.
The Money Saving Expert said: “The 1.3million still owed Power of Attorney refunds will MISS OUT unless they act now.
“Many in England and Wales are due up to £54 for each – it’s easy to reclaim and takes a few minutes.”
In order to claim a refund, people can go online in order to apply for a refund.
Depending when you applied for the power of attorney means you could receive a different amount of cash.
The criteria are as follows-
- Applied between April 2013 and September 2013: £54
- Applied between October 2013 and March 2014: £34
- Applied between April 2014 and March 2015: £37
- Applied between April 2015 and March 2016: £38
- Applied between April 2016 and March 2017: £45
