Why We Have Contacted YouEach year, unclaimed moneys (typical examples include dormant bank accounts, unclaimed wages, cheques that were made payable to suppliers but were never presented at the bank, forgotten life insurance policies etc) are reported to prescribed custodians and the amounts involved are sent to the official authorities for safekeeping. Other unclaimed assets (typical examples include forgotten investments, royalty payments, inheritances etc) are also recorded in a variety of registers – some of which are public documents. TPR document researchers specialise in identifying and acquiring such data, which is then processed into a functional format which allows multiple entries for the same beneficial owner to be grouped together in the TPR global database. Our records indicate that there is one, or more, item(s) listed in your, or your company’s, name. |

How may we have contacted you?
As our records indicate lost property in your name, researchers at TPR’s local office have been assigned to trace the missing beneficial owner – i.e. yourself or your company. References and CredentialsNaturally, clients tend to be cautious when first contacted by a TPR office or researcher, with talk about forgotten money. If you, or your professional advisors, would like to take up formal references on the history and standing of TPR, these are available from lawyers who have dealt with us in the various jurisdictions over the past 10 years or so. For publicly listed companies who are considering using the corporate Unclaimed Money Monitoring service, we can offer background introduction to the company secretaries of existing clients. What are the costs?We do the necessary research, finding of miscellaneous organisations and people to obtain verification from their part in order to present a valid case for you to recover the forgotten asset(s) with your name as the beneficiary owner in numerous countries around the world. It is never a simple process. We do not merely fill-in blank fields with the information which we have – much work needs to be done before a claim can be made. In general, we charge a nominal fee calculated as a percentage of proceeds from a successful claim. We work on a contingency basis. If, for any reason whatsoever, we fail to obtain a repayment cheque for you, then there is absolutely no fee to pay. What is the success rate?We have recorded an average success rate of 89.2% in the past decade. How long do you have to wait for results?This varies from one case to another – depending on the complexity of the case and difficulty in tracing all the parties and organisations involved prior to the verification process. Can you make the claim yourself instead of appointing TPR?Yes, of course. However, you would need to know the exact nature and details of the case before you can do so. The majority of our clients are not aware of the item(s) which we present to them – otherwise, they would have made a rightful claim a long time ago! |
