Overage Refund Recovery is a small group of asset recovery professionals located in Alabama. We know the “ins and outs” of government agencies in all states. If a government agency is holding your funds, we know how to get them! After a certain period of time elapses, the government may get to keep your funds, so it’s always best to have professionals on your side.

Our Mission

If a claim for your funds isn’t made in time, the funds often “escheat” to the agency holding them, meaning you can no longer claim them. It’s your money, and the government shouldn’t be able to take it from you. Our mission is to ensure that this never, ever happens. We audit government files and documents for these unclaimed funds, and when we find them, we make it our personal mission to reunite them with their rightful owner.

Our Vision

We’d love to see you reclaim the funds we’ve found for you! What would you do with a nice, unexpected payday? In this economy, everyone’s got a use for extra money. Let’s make sure we place these funds in the hands of the rightful owner!! 

Get In Touch With Us

We take a long burdensome process and transform it into a painless engagement to get our clients the money that is owed to them.

Working with Arnell and his team was a wonderful experience. They are extremely professional and dedicated. Even when my case turned out to be more complicated than anticipated, they kept going with it and were ultimately able to recover a significant amount of money that I had previously written off as lost, due to not having the knowledge or resources to try to get it back on my own. I greatly appreciate that they handled everything from start to finish so I did not have to stress about anything throughout the process. I can’t recommend Overage Refund Recovery enough.
Response from the owner:Ren, thank you for your glowing review. We’re thrilled Arnell and the team could recover those funds and make a stressful situation easier for you. We appreciate your trust and recommendation and are always here if you need assistance again.

When I first recieved the call from Arnell. My immediate thought was the old addive " if it sounds to good to be true it is." I challenged the recovery team time and time again to reassure me. They put me in contact with lawyers, and over the course of months earned my trust before I finally agreed to work with them to let them help me recover money, which I have now received and been able to use to turn a lot of my own debts around. In this day and age it pays to be cautious. But laws change all the time. And in the end it can turn out people are really out here trying to help you get what your entitled to. I can recommend overage recovery because Arnell Carmichael put forth every effort to be with me step by step in the process. It's not quick but often to do things right takes time. Overage recover is proof of this. And I for one appreciate them Earning my business.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kaynn, for the thoughtful review and for trusting Arnell and our team. We're glad we could earn your confidence by connecting you with attorneys and working step-by-step to recover your funds. It means a lot to hear the recovery helped you turn your debts around and that you appreciate our thorough approach. We appreciate your recommendation and are here if you need assistance with anything else in the future.

​Mr. Carmichael was very courteous and polite in our brief encounter with recovering funds. From the beginning of our conversations, he had promised me a check for my troubles. Although I was somewhat skeptical of receiving anything at all, I was pleasantly surprised when I received a very nice and generous check for more than Mr. Carmichael had promised. I highly recommend this company should they ever reach out to you.

Sincerely, NC
Response from the owner:Thank you, Nancy — we appreciate your kind words and recommendation. We're glad Mr. Carmichael treated you courteously and that the recovery exceeded expectations. Your feedback means a lot to our team, and we will be sure to share your comments with him.

Arnold is one of the best veterans I've ever run across he's one out of his way to help me during one of the hardest times I've ever been through I went through other lawyer groups and all I wanted was money for nothing absolutely nothing and Arnel was able to get me my money within 2 months when everybody else said it would be at least a year these are good Christian people. He goes out of his way to help all his clients and he truly truly cares. Thank you for everything that you've done for me and my husband and thank you for what you did serving our country.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Leighann.

There’s nothing better than someone reaching out to tell you you’re owed money!
This group reached out to inform me that, though the foreclosure happened, the difference from the balance owed, and the amount paid at auction, belonged to the previous homeowner.
This, they explained, was a little known fact and, their mission was to informed all that had been affected by the devastation of a foreclosure.
They worked through the process, allowing me time to recover from the loss of a home.
I embraced them for reaching out and, specifically for the day I received the surplus check!
If a foreclosure is unable to be avoided, take their call, or make a call to them. I learned a lot, and was able to see hope in the midst of turmoil.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our outreach made a positive impact during such a challenging time. Our mission is to support those affected by foreclosure, and it's rewarding to know that we could help you not only understand your rights but also recover some funds. We're here to assist and provide guidance whenever it's needed. Your experience is exactly why we do what we do!

Mr. Carmichael contacted me a month ago about some funds that had not yet been claimed. I was very skeptical considering how the world is now and how very careful you have to be when you get such news. He was very understanding, pleasant and amazing all around. He was excellent with communication and kept me updated on everything. I can't say enough good things about my experience! I highly recommend Overage Refund Recovery. If I could give infinite stars as a rating I would.
Response from the owner:Ms. Bearden,
It was a pleasure speaking and working with you! I appreciate your trust in our company, to recover your funds. This testimonial will have a far greater impact helping others than what we were able to do for you.
