QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
-
Who is SBC Recovery Funds LLC?SBC Recovery Funds LLC is a small, family-owned organization of dedicated professionals and is currently registered in good standing with several Secretary of State Office Georgia. We conduct business throughout the United States.
-
How do we know your organization is legitimate?SBC Recovery Funds LLC is registered and holds licensure with Secretary of State of Georgia. While some companies highlight a Better Business Bureau rating to create confidence with a recognizable BBB seal, the SBC Recovery Funds LLC organization recognizes that numerous start-up companies with less than a year of operations end up with an A+ rating by simply paying an annual fee to be able to display the BBB Accreditation seal in their marketing materials with an understanding that BBB, in turn, keeps your record clean, even if you have hundreds of complaints. SBC Recovery Funds LLC prefers to simply adhere to an organization policy of “The Customer’s Needs Come First” and an ideology ingrained in all our staff members “to treat others as they would like to be treated!”
-
Are you a Collection Agency?No, SBC Recovery Funds LLC is NOT a collection agency and in fact, operates in the exact opposite fashion. Simply put, if you have received a call or letter from us, it is because we are confident that we have found money or other assets that you are entitled to claim. We have no direct or indirect communication with collection agencies. We only seek to have direct contact with you!
-
What does “unclaimed funds” or “lost asset” mean?Unclaimed funds are money and other assets whose rightful owner lacks awareness of their existence, so it is unlikely that they would be searching for them. Unclaimed funds are typically turned over to the government after a specific period of time has passed. The types of assets typically include bank accounts, certificates of deposit, contents of safe-deposit boxes, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, dividend or payroll checks, refunds for goods or services, traveler’s checks, insurance payments, annuities, trust distributions, unredeemed money orders or gift certificates, utility security deposits, escrow accounts and mineral royalty payments, just to highlight a few. By the time we contact you, most of these assets have been converted to a monetary amount that is being held by an asset holder. Most asset holders make a meaningless attempt to locate you to prohibit your funds from being claimed.
-
How did my assets get lost?Through no fault of your own, unclaimed assets may result from common situations involving inheritance issues, lost payment or property overage returns, business closings or insurance policies purchased previously by family members and business partners. Unclaimed funds are typically turned over to the government agencies after a specific period of time has passed. Our company philosophy stands for the basic belief that all private citizens should be reunited with their assets, in lieu of permitting any faceless government agency the ability to seize them lawfully through a process called “escheatment.” This process is rooted in feudal 16th century England and the SBC Recovery Funds LLC organization believes it is grossly unfair.
-
Who has my lost assets?Your assets may be in the possession of a plethora of asset holders. Our teams primary function is to locate you and pair you with your lost and unclaimed assets which are typically held by a number of government entities. Unclaimed funds found through basic internet searches of state abandoned property offices are not the subject of our searches. Each case is unique with specific nuances held by an exhaustive list of asset holders, so a definitive response does not exist and pertain to all.
-
Is there a time limit to claim any lost or unclaimed funds?Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” answer to your question. Each claim is unique and asset holders are subject to different laws depending upon their location and any specific, applicable government agency rules. With that said, yes there are deadlines associated with claim recovery and much of our work is performed expeditiously with a great attention to detail to meet those deadlines.
-

-
Is it safe to disclose my personal information?SBC Recovery Funds LLC adheres to a strict Privacy Policy and guarantees every client to use their information for the sole purpose of resolving your claim. Your private and personal information will never be sold or shared with any other entities.

-
How long before I receive any money?Each claim is unique and the time frame from locating lost or unclaimed assets to recovery of funds can differ significantly. Some contributing factors include type of asset holder and claim complexity. The process typically takes between three to eighteen months once the claim is filed, but there are instances that have taken several years to complete primarily due to multiple claimants. Once we receive and process all the necessary paperwork from you, your Claims Advocate will be able to provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific circumstance.
