The state website allows you to print out and mail in a form to claim your unclaimed property. You will require a photocopy of your driver's license, proof of SSN, and proof of address (the address that the report lists for you - SO, if you've moved, you'll need to dig up some old paperwork). You then mail it in and wait 60-90 days for processing. Depending on your state, you will pay a handling fee to the state - mine on this amount we are claiming is 1% (it goes up to 1.5% for high amounts).Beyond the Consumerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16880781143933380601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-278794854156483859.post-2751012513888320462007-09-12T14:16:00.000-06:002007-09-12T14:16:00.000-06:00Go through the state, not through a private organi...Go through the state, not through a private organization.

I've got money from class action lawsuits that just group every consumer that ever bought anything from the company between a period of time, and they just divide the settlement amount out. Of course the lawyers and processing fees take a huge chunk of it. Have fun getting paid though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
