Q.: What exactly is unclaimed or abandoned property?
A.: Unclaimed or “abandoned” property usually refers to accounts, financial instruments or property held by companies, government agencies or financial institutions in which there has been no activity generated (or contact with the owner) for at least one year. Generally, after a certain period of time, referred to as the “dormancy period,” with no activity, the property becomes “unclaimed,” and by law, must be turned over to the state.
Q.: Where are the unclaimed funds or abandoned assets located?
A.: We research the financial records of government agencies and large companies all across America in search of unclaimed assets.
Q.: What type of asset might be owed to me?
A.: Due to delinquency or abandonment, assets waiting to be claimed might originate from: checking or savings accounts, retirement accounts (401(k), 4013(b) IRA, etc.), old bank or credit union accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), stocks, bonds (corporate, municipal, savings, etc.), insurance policies, annuities, mutual/trust/index funds, securities, Treasury notes/bonds/bills, commodities (metals, agricultural, livestock, energy), mineral royalty payments, unpaid wages, pensions from former employers, tax refunds, trust distributions, safe deposit box contents, inheritance money, etc.
Q.: How long does it take for me to receive my money?
A.: Approximately 6-8 weeks. The actual processing time may vary depending upon the complexity of your case, as well as state and local legal requirements.
Q.: How much time and effort is required by me?
A.: It only takes about 10 minutes to review and approve our enrollment forms. After that, we do all the work needed to apply for the funds.
Q.: How do I know I am the correct person being contacted?
A.: Through extensive research of public records, we are able to accurately match unclaimed assets with the correct recipient. In our initial conversation, we will confirm our research. If we are in error, no obligations are incurred.
Q.: Will my personal information be shared?
A.: No. Information obtained about potential claimants is from public records. Any information we obtain will never be shared.
Q.: Do I pay any upfront fees for your service?
A.: No. We never ask our clients for money in advance. We pay all the upfront costs to get your claim processed. We do not get paid until you get paid. In essence, we work for you for free until you receive a check.
Q.: How is your company paid?
A.: We receive a contingent consulting fee for our services. When and if you are paid, our fee is deducted from your recovered funds.
Q.: Is this legal?
A.: Yes. We utilize business practices that have been successfully used for decades. We have worked on hundreds of claims. Also, we always hire an attorney to file the Claim documents.
Q.: Is this a scam?
A.: No. Scammers seek personal information (i.e., Social Security number, bank or credit card numbers, etc.), or money paid upfront. We do not need any of your personal information. Remember, you never pay any upfront costs to get your claim processed. Also, Surplus Recovery Agents, LLC is an A+ rated member of the Better Business Bureau of Greater Kansas City. As such, we adhere to the highest ethical standards of business practices.
Q.: Once the Claim is approved, how do I get paid?
A.: Usually, the attorney who worked on your Claim will issue a check, drawn on their law firm’s Trust Bank Account, and send it to you.
Q.: What if the Claim is not approved?
A.: Even though we have a near 100% success rate, you do not owe us anything if funds are not collected.
Q.: Why should I do business with your company?
A.: There are many reasons. Here are a few:
(1) Experience: Having worked on hundreds of claims, we know how to overcome obstacles to get your Claim approved. We know how to navigate through all the legal requirements. We know how to locate and work with other professionals who assist in the process.
(2) Efficiency: We have a nearly 100% success rate. We have systems in place to make sure tasks are being completed to expedite positive results. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of our progress.
(3) Commitment: Regardless of how long it takes, we are committed to seeing your Claim to a successful conclusion.
Q.: Why is it important to start the process now?
A.: Due to state and federal laws, there are usually deadlines prior to which a claim must be made. Otherwise, the money can no longer be claimed. Thus, “time is of the essence.”
Q.: How do I get started?
A.: Simply call our company. We will confirm our research and explain the process. Once we have the agreement and authorization forms signed, we will hire the attorney and begin the process.
