You could have unclaimed property

[BikeWriter]

Money that's rightfully yours could be sitting forgotten, in the government's control. It could be anything from a long-dormant bank account to a forgotten utility deposit or family heirloom in an abandoned safe deposit box.

1. It's a trick!

You show up to claim, and they put a microchip in yer belly button. :silly:

I'm not falling for it. My tinfoil underpants will save me. :bounce:

2. I'm supposed to have several hundred coming from...

a security deposit I made to an electrical co-op. It's worth looking into.

10. Do I get a finder's fee? ;-)

[AllegroRondo]

12. Well, if this works out I may donate to DU in your name

seriously, a big thank you for posting this. I had no idea that account was there. I've requested the forms from the state of Wisconsin to claim it.

8. Holy shit! I'm the direct male descendant of Ivan the Terrible!

And I own Russia! I'm off to raise a volunteer army to claim my prize...

9. thank you so much BikeWriter!

I found out that my family has 6 articles of unclaimed property! Don't know why the mail wasn't delivered, as the address they had was correct at the time, but I have now moved, and the mail wasn't forwarded. I spoke to the proper department today, and they told me how to go about claiming it. Its going to be very involved, but at least I now know where a particular missing refund is!!! Didn't even know about the other things! THANK YOU!!

[BikeWriter]

11. Very good, Dear! I'm happy for you!

:)

Thanks again for posting this!

[BikeWriter]

17. You're welcome! Your family really hit the jackpot!

18. Some states are slow to process claims, but this does work.

I'm currently waiting on a check from an old insurance settlement check I never cashed in California. It's about $350 or so. Not a huge amount, but it's something that was just sitting out there.

[BikeWriter]

19. Yep, and that's $350 that wasn't doing you any good...

I hope you enjoy it! :-)

[ET Awful]

20. This thread prompted me to call their automated system and check

the status. The claim has been approved for payment and I should receive a check within 14 days. :woohoo:

[BikeWriter]

25. Very good, ET. I hope mine works as well.

[KitchenWitch]

[BikeWriter]

29. Oh, I'm sorry, Sweety!

[tjdee]

22. In NJ they don't tell you what you got! Argh!

I don't have anything (LOL, I wouldn't just "forget" ANYTHING, LOL) but my mom and my dad both do....but it doesn't say what.

[BikeWriter]

28. Well, ( hope it's enough to help them, TJ.

[jmm]

23. Thanks to you I have under $100 coming to me

:woohoo:

[BikeWriter]

26. I hope it's enough to do something nice for yourself. ;-)

[Lochloosa]

24. I have 87 bucks in Florida.

And something in Georgia. They don't tell you what it is or how much.

Thanks.:toast:

[BikeWriter]

27. You're most welcome, Lochloosa...

I'd been needing to file my own. I'm glad you and several others found something.
