HOW IT WORKS
The Audit
Gr8 Advocates for You audits many governmental agencies across the country to locate sums of money owed to private individuals and companies.
The government makes no attempt (nor are they under obligation) to notify its citizens that they are owed money from any kind of abandonment, other than publishing the list in a newspaper or sending a letter to whatever old address the Agency has on file they publish. These are hidden deep in the catacombs of government records and 99% of all citizens do not even know that they exist.
If these funds go unclaimed for too long, they are usually lost to the government agency holding them. It is in their best interest that you never find out there are unclaimed funds available and due to you.
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 and Payment
Once you have spoken to one of our Refund Specialists and verbally agreed to let us work on your claim, we will set up a convenient time for you to authorize our paperwork to allow Gr8 Advocates for You to start the process of recovering the unclaimed funds.
Our firm works on a contingency basis – this means that there are no up-front or out-of-pocket expenses to you, EVER.
We are paid ONLY upon successful collection of your claim. We do ALL 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 the paperwork from you and have it overnighted back to our office. We start processing claims immediately and follow through until the end, making sure to keep you informed the whole way.
Claims are usually processed in 3-4 months and sometimes sooner, depending on the complexity of the case. The funds collected are remitted to you within 30 days of receipt of the disbursed check.
