11. What is lost money?
Unclaimed Money or lost money is a term used to describe funds that have been unable to be returned to the entity they belong to. It’s easy to end up with lost funds, even the best kept records can sometimes miss something. Have you ever moved house or even opened up a new bank account? Chances are you could have money owing to you.
 
12. How do we locate you?
It’s our job to track down people with money owing to them. We use a range of methods to get in contact with you; all of which are legal and ethical. We respect your privacy and only use the details given to us by Government entities in attempts to reunite you with your lost money. We believe people should be given the chance to claim it back.
 
13. Can I do it myself?
Can and should are two very different words. Just as you wouldn’t represent yourself in court, you shouldn’t try to claim lost money yourself, unless you have the knowledge to refund it the correct way. If handled incorrectly, your money can end up in all kinds of trouble. It is better to get it done right with the professional assistance of our experienced refund consultants.
 
14. Why am I being asked for more information?
Government departments often require more identification once the claim has been submitted. Please understand that this is normal and that we endeavour to ensure that your claim is processed as swiftly as possible while adhering to Government department specifications and requirements.
15. How much is this going to cost me?
Our service does not involve any upfront fees or payments so you don’t have to worry about having to make payments you can’t afford. Our fee will vary depending on the amount that needs refunding. But please be aware that you will not have to pay a cent until your money is fully refunded. We don’t get paid unless you do, this minimises your risk and ensures you aren’t hit with fees that you can not afford.
