Ask your question:

Do I have to pay money up front to recover unclaimed funds?
|
|
Some other agencies that do unclaimed funds recovery might contact you and ask you to give them money up-front for their fees or charge you even if their recovery is not successful. We never ask for money up-front and we never charge you unless we successfully recover your money.

If I was really owed money, wouldn't they have located me and given it to me?
|
|
Not necessarily! Many companies, states, and federal agencies don't make much of an effort to locate you. They don't have much incentive to do so since they can keep that money and wait for you to come claim it while they earn interest off of that money.

What are unclaimed funds?
|
|
Unclaimed funds are items such as money, stocks, or jewelry that are being held by state or federal agencies until the owners claim them. Businesses are required by law to turn unclaimed funds over to the government after a certain period of time. The government is then supposed to try to return these funds to the rightful owner. But, many times they are unable to do this because the owner has moved or died. The following are just some of the possible sources of unclaimed money: Saving & Checking Accounts, Inheritances, Payroll Checks, Tax Returns, Investment Accounts, Insurance Policies, Mortgage Insurance Refunds, Security Deposits, Stock Dividends, Refunds, and so much more!
