About Auburn Asset Recoveries, LLC and the Unclaimed Funds Process
Q: Is this a scam?
No. We are a legitimate business, and we specialize in helping individuals recover unclaimed funds held by government agencies. If we contacted you, it’s because we’ve identified money that we believe is rightfully yours. We don’t ask for upfront payment — we only get paid when you do.
Q: How did you find my information?
We audit public government records to identify unclaimed funds. If we contacted you, it’s because we found a potential match and verified identifying details through public databases — nothing private, nothing shady.
Q: What exactly are “unclaimed funds”?
Unclaimed funds are assets — like forgotten refunds, closed accounts, overpayments, or inheritance — that have gone unclaimed and are now held by government agencies. These agencies are legally required to hold the money for a limited time before they can seize it through a process called escheatment.
Q: What is “escheatment”?
Escheatment is the legal process that allows a government to take ownership of unclaimed property after a set period. Once escheated, the money may be incredibly difficult — or impossible — to recover. That’s why acting quickly matters.
Q: Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. We work on a contingency basis. You pay nothing unless we successfully recover your funds. Our fee comes from a percentage of the money we recover for you — and it’s all disclosed in writing before you sign anything.
Q: Why can’t I just recover the funds myself?
In some cases, you can — but locating the funds, verifying your claim, navigating bureaucracy, and submitting legal documentation takes time, knowledge, and persistence. We handle the heavy lifting and ensure the claim is filed correctly and quickly. That’s what you’re hiring us for.
Q: How long does the recovery process take?
It depends on the agency holding the funds. Most claims take between 30 to 90 days, though some can take longer due to paperwork or agency delays. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
Q: How do I get started?
Easy. Just give us a call at (307) 202-2680 and one of our representatives will walk you through what we’ve found and explain the next steps. No pressure, no obligation — just clear information and the chance to reclaim what’s rightfully yours.
