Thank you for the nice surprise for my husbands Estate.I would never have found it! Wonderful work Bruce!!
Helen Visser of SA 5253
I highly recommend this business. I found Bruce Thistleton to be thoroughly professional and ethical in my dealings with him.
Bruce contacted me to inform me he had found a substantial amount of money, held in mine name.The money found went back 15 years or more, so when Bruce contacted me about it.
I initially thought it was a scam and told him so. Bruce very patiently and carefully explained what he had found, how he found it and where he had found it. He told me he would send the relevant documents for me to look at. It still took me a while to realise it was in fact.
It took many months of correspondence with the original company who owed me the money and the same with government departments.I got to the point when I thought the money was never going to be recovered!However Bruce kept searching and digging for nearly a year, to tell me that he finally had a big fat cheque for me!!
I was utterly delighted as you can imagine.During this long stressful procedure Bruce kept me informed at all times with each small step forward, he was always optimistic that he would get there in the end.

Frequently Asked Questions.
I have been contacted about unclaimed assets in my name is it true?
If you have funds that have been left unclaimed for 7 years, then those funds will already have been paid to a government agency. Assets such as lottery prizes, superannuation funds, cheques, bank accounts, insurance policies, wills, bonds, stocks etc can all be counted and reclaimed by the rightful owner. In the vast majority of cases there is more than one person going by the same name, because of this we will carry out cross checks to be sure that we have found the right person.
What personal information is required?
We will ask you to supply us with your home address and date of birth. We will also ask you to personally sign this information, verifying that it is correct. These details will then be forwarded to the government agency that is holding the assets, where they will then be checked to confirm identity and ownership.
Who is privy to the information?
Any information given remains strictly confidential at all times and the only other party who will be privy to it is the government agency concerned.
Can the information I supply be used as identity fraud?
We do not require any identifying photographs. Without an image of a persons likeness it is not possible for identity fraud to be committed.
How do I know if you are legitimate?
Before being registered with the Australian Securities Investment Commission, it was necessary for us to be check by the Australian Federal Police who found us to have a flawless record in terms of honesty and efficiency
How much does it cost to carry out a search?
Although payment is required by some sites, Funds Recovery asks for payment only if funds are returned to you. If you receive no funds, then you pay nothing,
How did you find me?
We find individuals' contact details by searching public records such as phone directories, council records and the electoral roll.
I have been contacted before by another company who has been unsuccessful in retrieving my funds. How do I know you will be able to do it?
Although we offer no guarantees that we can recover any funds that belong to you, if we are not successful then we charge you nothing. Does this sound fair to you?
Can a result be guaranteed?
Once you have completed the agreement and returned it to us, we are then able to search the large number of resources detailing unclaimed assets. However, we can offer no guarantee that you are entitled to any funds that are outstanding.
How will I know whether I am the rightful owner?
Once the government authority concerned has received and reviewed your application, they will reply to inform us as to whether or not you are the rightful owner of funds held. They might also request further information such as a drivers licence or utility bill to confirm your identity. You will receive a copy of any correspondence that they send.
Will I ever have to pay any money up front?
All costs involved in the search are covered by Funds Recovery. Funds Recovery will at no point request any form of payment in advance.
How long will the recovery process take?
Every case is different and some take longer than others. However, the majority of cases vary from three weeks to four months.
What happens if I do not claim the asset back?
Any outstanding assets that remain unclaimed will be confiscated by the government for their own use. This is often done without notice.
I tried to claim back my money but without success. What should I do?
We are not always successful in seeing funds returned and a number of our clients have not been successful. However, because we make applications and searches on a daily basis, we have the experience to give you the best chance of success.
Are you able to check for any claims that are owing to another family member?
We can check claims for any individual provided we have the correct details. The details that we need are prior address, full name, date of birth, address, phone number and a signed request for us to act on their behalf.
If I am the rightful owner will it affect my pensioner benefits?
We have never had a scenario where a pensioner's entitlement is affected by the return of funds. We can check this for your behalf however before any funds are returned.
