Are You Owed Money? Check This Site To Find Out

Posted by on Jul 16, 2008 | 6 Comments

The web site Missing Money provides a fast and simple way of checking to see if any organization may owe you some money. The service is free and takes just seconds to perform. There is also a listing of all state agencies who you can contact for additional information concerning monies owed to you. In a brief statement on the site it states:

 What’s Here?

MissingMoney.com is a database of state unclaimed property records.

Common types of unclaimed property include:

  • Bank accounts and safe deposit box contents
  • Stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and dividends
  • Uncashed checks and wages
  • Insurance policies, CD’s, trust funds
  • Utility deposits, escrow accounts

  Unclaimed property does not include real estate property.

Give the site a try and see what you think. I did but unfortunately didn’t locate any lost or missing funds owed to me or anyone in my family. :-(

Comments welcome.

    Hey! Thanks, Ron!! Thanks to you I discovered that I have 155 bucks coming back from a long forgotten canceled insurance policy. Now, do you get a percentage of this found money…..????

    Hi Bruce,
    Nope. I get nothing. :-) Glad you are getting some money back though. It makes one wonder how many folks don’t even bother to check.

    seems it’s a failing on how Facebook is setting up the the “like” link rather than Bing failing to display the correct “liked” link. Seems prone to gaming by being generic or unclear on what specific link is being liked. You seem to be asserting Bing is at fault here which appears to be off target.

      It’s not a failing of Facebook “Like” because I can see how many people “Like” an individual page for the sites I have linked to Facebook Insights, which means Facebook has accurate data. The problem is in the Bing implementation, which appears to opt for a more generic “Like” of the site rather than the specific page in the results.

    I think eventually these rough edges will go away, the idea is very promising and beneficial to both FB & Bing so it will be fixed, stay tuned

    Agreed, great explanation Jake! Though, I think until Like signals are available for a large percent of the pages out there it might be useful to take that shortcut and weigh each page based on its parent’s Likes. I’m just very curious how Google will respond…
