Have you ever Found Money that you didn't know you had?

[GAme]

Occasionally I find a stack of 20's hidden under something in my closet or cabinet. $120 or so. I love when that happens

Do these companies cost money to search for you?

No, they are run by the state. What happens is this.....

Most utility companies, banks, credit unions, insurance companies- basically anyone you pay money to as a bill or premium- use a third party to adminster their financial dealings. If the third party is not able to deliver a refund check, premium return or an over-charge amount due to you, they have to turn that money over to the unclaimed property part of the state government, otherwise they become liable for it- the last thing they want to do.

Simply google: "unclaimed property North Carolina" or wherever you live. Most of the time the only information the site uses to search is a name and address. If you lived in several different places, you may have to search each individually.
