Helping you recover your lost funds.
Do you have a few questions?
Don’t worry! Most people who go through this process will. We are here to help clarify and answer them all for you to help make the process as smooth as possible.
Growing up we were taught that when something sounds too good to be true, there is a good chance that it is too good to be true. But every now and then, that saying is proven false! This is one of those times where it is 100% real. Funds are being recovered every single day, and we believe you deserve to get the money that was always rightfully yours ASAP. You’re not dreaming.
Agencies tasked with notifying the potential claimants of their money can have a conflict of interest in many jurisdictions. They can keep your money if the claimants remain oblivious and unaware of the claims’ existence. For this reason, agencies can go through great lengths to avoid notifying you of your claim.
This is one of our most common questions! We never charge any upfront fees. None. We absorb all the costs associated with filing the claim and recovering the funds. We work completely on contingency, which means we only get paid once the funds are successfully recovered. Once they are recovered, we will only take a small percentage of the funds.
The governmental agencies we audit typically DO NOT post these unclaimed funds accounts online. If you don’t use a professional service like ours and try to find it yourself, there is a slim chance you will find it on your own. Not all claims are easy to find and a considerable amount of time and resources have been spent gathering the many details of your claim.
There are a number of factors that determine collection time. The complexity of the claim, the laws governing when the money can be released, and how long the claim has been outstanding can all affect processing time. It can be as short as a few weeks or as long as one year or more. Your claims manager will continually update you with the status of your claim as information becomes available.
We keep your information 100% private and confidential. We never ask for any personal financial information. We do not sell or give your information to anyone outside of our organization.
Please call us and one of our representatives would be more than happy to explain the nature of your claim. Once you have signed our contingency fee agreement, we’ll be happy to disclose where the funds have been located!
If you have received a letter or an initial call please contact us ASAP. If you are awaiting paperwork, use the time to study our website or contact your claims manager with any questions. Upon receiving the initial paperwork, review it and if you are ready to move forward with your claim, complete and send back promptly. MES Locator will complete the claims process from there.
