Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Questions About Unclaimed Money Recovery

How did you find my details, and is this legitimate?

Our work involves researching publicly available databases to locate unclaimed or lost money. If we contacted you, it’s because our research strongly suggests you may be the rightful owner. The entire process is completely legal and complies with Australian and international privacy laws.

Can I claim the money myself? Why choose Fulbright Consulting Pty Ltd?

While you can undertake the process yourself, it can be time-consuming and complicated. Our extensive experience, established contacts, and streamlined approach mean you avoid delays and paperwork headaches. Plus, you only pay if your claim is successful — no win, no fee.

How much does your service cost?

Our fee is 15% of the total funds successfully recovered. You pay nothing upfront, and only once you have received your money.

How do I prove the unclaimed money belongs to me?

Proof requirements vary but typically include certified documents linking you to the last known address and confirming your identity (such as driver’s licence, passport, utility bills, or rates notice). If it involves a deceased estate, documents like Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration may be needed.

What is a certified copy?

A certified copy is a photocopy signed by an authorised person (e.g., Justice of the Peace) confirming it is a true copy of the original document. This is necessary to prevent fraud and validate claims.

How long does the recovery process take?

In Australia, most cases are finalised within 4–6 weeks after receiving all documentation. Overseas claims may take a few months. We keep you updated throughout the entire process.

Where did this money come from?

Unclaimed money often arises from forgotten bank accounts, unpresented cheques, insurance refunds, rent bonds, share dividends, or superannuation. It may be due to a change of address, name, or simply forgotten accounts.

What if no money is recovered?

If your funds cannot be recovered, you pay nothing. Our service is completely risk-free for you.

What if I am not the person you are looking for?

Please let us know so we can update our records. If you know the rightful owner or their next of kin, please pass along my details or provide theirs so we can contact them directly.

What happens if I do nothing?

If left unclaimed, your funds may eventually be absorbed by the government. Acting now ensures you or your loved ones receive what is rightfully yours.
