Title: Unclaimed Monies
Post by Neferti on Jun 25^th, 2021 at 10:28am

With the end of June on the horizon and that means "tax time", I notice that the Daily Telegraph has an article about unclaimed monies. Have any of you checked to see whether you have some unclaimed money waiting for you? Worth a look.

Got a "no results found". But, money is owed to me.

None for me but when I stuff in just surname I can see money owed to extended family members.

Yeah. A family member has a couple hundred dollars owed to him from 30 years ago. I do not even know the guy.

My mum once got a letter from a Qld based solicitor informing her of lost money. It included the reclaim forms filled in ready to go and a consent form for a 10% fee.

I bet they send off 1000s of them hoping a certain % use them
