Our company would bare the entire cost of conducting the the review, research and due diligence. There’s Never Any Upfront Cost To Our Clients.

The government, counties, states, banks and various entities are holding onto Billions of dollars annually, nestled away in various departments, agencies, and bureaus, made up of funds related to property sales, foreclosures, escrow overpayments, bankruptcies, mortgage overpayments and other types of financial assets and transactions. What most people are oblivious to or don’t understand, is that most times, if those surpluses aren’t claimed within a specified period, which varies greatly from entity to entity, the government usually gets to keep your money. We strongly suggest getting a claim started and recovering these funds quickly. Are you ready to get started? Contact us and we can begin right away.

Definitely-Where you would start, or how you would go about doing so are different questions all together. There are numerous records and data sources that our researchers and attorneys sort through to identify folks who may be owed on a claim or surplus. Most agencies that are holding the surplus funds don’t post these openly online and they will not show up in an internet search.Often, claimants will need to hire an attorney to file the required paperwork. Keep in mind the surplus and overage business would not exist if the entity holding your money was truly motivated to return your surplus money. However, you are absolutely entitled to carry out the leg work, research, review, due diligence, filing, and pay all associated costs on your own accord.

OR you can (let us do the work for you) with no upfront cost and enjoy life while we’re taking care of it all for you! We know how to steer through the legal challenges that typically arise to get your surplus recovered as timely as feasibly possible.

In various instances there is a quick deadline for us to file your claim, which could be as small as a 2-3 month filing window. Additionally, there could always be a court-imposed statute of limitations or deadline which could prevent filing beyond certain timeframes. Once these durations have expired, those surplus or unclaimed  funds are often lost or escheated to the entity and can no longer be claimed. Contact us to get started right away.

No. Robin Hood Surplus Recovery works on our clients behalf to get the money that is legally owed to them by various entities. Get in contact us with us to find out how much is available for you.

Since we don’t charge an upfront fee, it is Robin Hood Surplus Recovery policy to not disclose the location of the funds until an agreement is signed. Once you have signed our contingency fee agreement, we’ll be happy to disclose where the unclaimed money has been located and any additional information available to us!

There is no catch at all. If the unclaimed money we found is truly yours, we get paid a percentage of it as a finder’s fee for our work in locating and making the claim on your behalf. If the money is not yours, or no longer available, then we do not get paid-Period. We do not ask for any money in advance from you and we only get paid if we get you money!

The money may sit in perpetuity, may be used by the entity, or be unable to be claimed after a certain period. In certain instances, the entity will simply hold on to your due funds. However, in some situations time is of the essence and the window to file your claim will be closing. If we do not file a claim to get your surplus funds returned, they will in most cases, be used as part of the general fund to pay for government services.

There is no risk putting us to work on your surplus or unclaimed property claim. Why wait? We take care of all the expenses, and we do not get paid if you do not get paid. In the worst case scenario, if you get nothing because time has elapsed or the funds simply aren’t there, we never charge a fee. We take full responsibility for all costs, even if unsuccessful.
