How it all works
A very simplified view of the process of getting your money.
The Audit
MES Locator audits a multitude of governmental agencies in the United States to track down sums of money that are owed to private citizens and companies of all sizes.
The reason why our job in locating these funds is so important is because most government agencies make very little to no attempts (nor are they obligated to) to notify its citizens they are owed money from any kind of abandonment.
This leads to nearly 99% of the people who are owed money don’t even know the funds exist. The funds we typically find are NOT listed on governmental sites that are available to the public. The funds we find typically are buried in governmental records
The Search
Once we’ve located the funds, great efforts are expended to then locate the rightful owner(s). Our team goes to work with our attorneys, researchers and notaries to work with the agency holding your unclaimed money.
Remember, if these funds go unclaimed for too long, they are usually lost to the government agency holding them.
Paperwork & Payment
Once you have spoken to one of our Refund Specialists and verbally agreed to let us work your claim, we will set up a time for you to sign several pages of paperwork to allow us to get started.
Our firm works on a contingent basis – this means that there are no up-front or out-of-pocket expenses to you, EVER. We’re paid ONLY upon successful collection of your claim. We do ALL the work, pay ALL the expenses, and jump through ALL the administrative hoops to claim your money – and if the claim is unsuccessful you owe us nothing. We take all the risk in exchange for an agreed upon percentage of the collected funds – a fair trade!
After receiving our paperwork package, we will send a local notary to collect it from you and overnight it back to our office. We start processing claims immediately and follow through until the end, making sure to keep you informed the whole way.
