How Do Australians Misplace Millions of Dollars Every Year?

Every day, people and businesses leave cash in financial institutions, insurance companies, and with government authorities. It’s human nature to forget and even the best kept records can even have gaps. As absurd as it sounds, it happens constantly. It’s estimated that 1 in 3 Australians actually have money owing to them without their knowledge. Sometimes it can be as simple as:

If I Don’t Choose To Claim These Lost Monies What Happens Then?

That’s a simple answer ( Refund Consultants )the funds will stay (in many cases) in a non – interest bearing account and in essence will remain unclaimed. Worst of all though, depending on what authority holds the funds, each is different, after a certain period the unclaimed fund will be absorbed into the endless pit of ‘consolidated Government Revenue’. In other words … the Government gets it, and it’s GONE!!!!.

What Is Unclaimed Money?

Billions of dollars are currently sitting in Government Trust accounts awaiting the return to its rightful owners. Virtually all owners of this money are unaware that their money is even sitting there; consequently, it’s not missed with only 2% of people actually reclaiming their lost money.

How did it end up there? 

Funds that lay dormant for 7 years are required by law to be transferred into Government Trust accounts if the owners cannot be contacted.

Cheques remain unrepresented if they cannot reach the person they are made out to. People move around a lot these days, changing providers, selling property, moving interstate and overseas for work and lifestyle changes and may not remember to update changes to addresses in a timely manner or at all.

Mail can be lost through oversight, theft, typographical input of addresses, name changes, illness and death.

Other lost money may include bequeaths, share dividends, bonds, matured insurance policies, unpaid wages and entitlements, council bonds, superannuation, refunds, and over-payments.

What happens to this money if it is not claimed?

Well, eventually if enough time passes without it being claimed, it will be taken up as Government consolidated revenue.

Now that the Government is in significant debt, will they be looking at this unclaimed money in a different light?  

Time is of the essence. If you have unclaimed money, reach out and allow us to facilitate the return of your hard-earned dollars in a timely manner. After all, it’s rightfully yours!

Testimonials

"Recently we were contacted by RefundWorks to tell us there was some unclaimed money in the name if our company. I have to say we knew nothing about this money, and we weren’t really sure what to think about this, it seemed a little strange, thought we had a handle on all our finances.”

We decided we had nothing to lose, so we completed the forms requested and RefundWorks went about to recover our funds. As the company had been deregistered this presented several challenges.

Just a few weeks later the monies were deposited into our account. We were surprised and delighted. Being a true sceptic, I could not recommend RefundWorks enough."

Karen | Newcastle

"I woke to see a lovely little surprise in my bank account this morning.

Thank you for your efforts in recovering this money for us from One Path. I must admit at first I was sceptical when I received the call about lost money. Although the value is not like winning the lotto, every dollar counts at times like these.

Thanks once again for your very professional service and prompt replies to all my many questions."

Jane | Sydney

"When I received a letter from RefundWorks, I called to see what this was all about. Chris explained their services, and after completing some documentation, I waited for my refund to arrive. I received $9,850 several weeks later with their account; it was outstanding service by their team what an outstanding service"

Michael

"I was really surprised to get a call from RefundWorks, and whilst I thought it was a long shot, they convinced me that a NO REFUND- NO FEE policy, took all the risk away, 5 weeks later, and I received $2,850. I couldn’t be happier with their service"
