FAQ

Overage Refund Recovery is an organization that specializes in finding and recovering lost assets. Some of the sources of money that we locate are from Tax and Mortgage Foreclosure auctions, States Unclaimed Surplus Funds. We research the information and then contact the rightful owners to help them get their Funds back for themselves!

For example, in the case of real estate that was owned, Properties are sold either at foreclosure or tax sale auction. Many times the amount owed to lien holder or creditors gets overpaid to the government and they take it if no one claims it. In cases of Bankruptcy, an old discharged bankruptcy can sometimes yield funds. There are many more sources. We would be more than happy to explain where your funds were generated from.

We know how much the claim is but need your approval to pinpoint the exact location of those funds within the government agency. Once you sign, we will complete the drill down process to identify the unclaimed fund account and immediately file to get it released on your behalf.

We work on a contingency basis and are only paid a minor percentage when and if we successfully recover the funds for you. Once you sign our contingency fee agreement, we’ll cover all the costs of retrieving those funds on your behalf including but not limited to Attorney’s fees, filing fees, court costs etc. We do this every day and NEVER charge you a penny out of pocket to get you your money.

Government agencies don’t make the process of finding and claiming those funds easy. It requires a lot of paperwork, legal motions and follow-up. You could hire a lawyer to help but they typically cost more than the claim itself and you have to pay them upfront to get started. With us, you pay nothing up front and we know how to keep costs low. You need an experienced professional that knows the process inside and out to maximize your chance of getting that money.

Every Government agency, Bank or Private organization handles the claims process differently. Depending on the local rules of law and the type of claim it is typically anywhere from 60 -120 days on average from the filing date. Some cases may take even more time, however we have seen many cases get paid out quicker.

Contact us by phone or email with your situation and one of our helpful and friendly associates will immediately help you with your claim. Once you sign — we get to work! We will keep you informed throughout the process, from submission, to follow-up to the official release of funds. Transparency and trust is how we operate.

NO. The concept of lost or forgotten funds or assets has been around for a long time. The federal, state and local governments as well as private banks, HOA’s and others hold over a staggering $50 Billion Dollars in unclaimed funds. Yes, that’s where we come in. We do not charge you any money upfront for our services. We work on a contingency basis and are only paid when and if we successfully recover the funds for you. WE WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR ANY PAYMENT INFORMATION. 

Honestly I thought it might have been a scam but I talked to Arnel and his team and he helped straighten out a lot of things with my dad’s estate. Thank you

I would highly recommend Overage Refund Recovery! Overage Refund Recovery was able to recover over $90K that I was totally unaware of and got me the funds as expeditiously as possible. Every member of the team was highly professional and I received timely updates on my case. Even when the county added additional hurdles to recover my funds, Overage Refund Recovery stayed by my side and walked me through the process. I am grateful for this organization and would say if you get contacted by them for refund recovery that you would be in good hands.

From the very beginning, they were clear, professional, and great at communicating—always prompt with responses and ready to answer any questions I had.

They told me the process could take 2–3 months, but to my surprise, they were able to recover the funds in less than a month! The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and handled with care. I highly recommend them to anyone going through a similar situation. Wonderful team and truly outstanding service!

We lost our home to foreclosure last year. We didn’t know what to do so just kind of waiting for it to hit our credit to file bankruptcy. Then we received a phone call one day from Arnell Carmichael from overages recovered. We thought it was a scam or fake but they had their homework already done. They helped us get something off our home and took a few things off our credit from another mortgage and lien on our home. We did nothing but answer their questions here and there, this all started on march 12, 2025 and we had money in our account on may 7, 2025. They didn’t procrastinate they were very prompt and so amazing.. we were struggling financially and this little bit has helped us tremendously… most amazing company.. thank you guys so much we are blessed you happened to stumble across our home… 🙏🙏

It's our mission to support our clients and provide prompt solutions that can make a positive impact on their lives. Your kind words truly motivate us to continue our work. We're grateful to have been a part of your journey and wish you all the best moving forward.
I am 100% glad that I made the smart decision of hiring Arnell Carmichael and his team (Overage Refund Recovery LLC). On several occasions we had issues with the trustee but Arnell went above and beyond staying on top of them each and every time to make sure we received our funds as quickly as possible. People like him are few and far between these days. Do yourself a favor and hire the guy with all the good reviews and bbb rep so you don't get got by the many other people posing in this line of business as trustworthy. Once again thank you so much sir for all of your hard work and your service to our country as a veteran. We highly appreciate and recommend you.

This was the best decision I made to use Overage Refubd LLC this company. I was not aware of the funds I had access to once our house was foreclosed on after my mom passed. With the help of Arnell we recovered $120,000.00 if fee were very reasonable and he helped me along every step of the way. With him assisting me I don’t know where I would be: I was able to have a fresh start on life. SERVICES ARE 10/10 I would definitely use him over and over again. Don’t be skeptical he walked me through every step and handled all the paperwork. Very professional and efficient. Thank you again for helping me in my time of need.
