Question 1

How did you find money in my name?

Accepted Answer

We read through public records at state and federal agencies — things like tax sale overages, unclaimed refunds, escrow accounts, and estate funds. When the records point to you or a relative, we reach out.

Question 2

Will you ever ask for my financial information?

Accepted Answer

No. We don't need your bank account, card number, or full Social Security number to look into a claim. If anyone says they're with us and asks for those, please don't share them — contact us directly to verify.

Question 3

What is escheatment?

Accepted Answer

Escheatment is the legal process by which unclaimed funds are eventually absorbed by the state if no one claims them in time. Once that happens, recovery becomes much harder, and in some cases impossible.

Question 4

How much does this cost up front?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover and comes out of the funds at the end. If the claim doesn't succeed, you don't owe us anything. We'll go over the exact terms with you before you sign anything.

Question 5

I got a letter from you. Is it real?

Accepted Answer

Likely yes — we contact owners by mail and phone when our research turns up a possible claim. If you want to confirm before responding, send us a message through the contact page and we'll match it to your file.

Question 6

How long does the recovery process take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the agency and the type of claim. Some take a few weeks, others several months. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we know which agency holds the funds, and update you as it moves.
