In most states, the amount you are seeking is within the dollar limit for small claims court. The procedures for filing vary according to the court's jurisdiction.

Question

I have unclaimed cash in the state I live but need proof of old address associated with the money. The house was lost quite a while back. Who all would have my name and address at an old address?

Kim G

Top Answerer

You could start by contacting the credit reporting agencies like Experian, Equifax or TransUnion. You can also contract the IRS to find a tax return from the time you lived at your old address.

Question

How do I find a lien release from a company that doesn't exist anymore?

Community Answer

It's probably in your state's municipal website. You can access this information by requesting an A-4 form. Then after you send it, along with a copy of your SSN and most recent pay stub, they will contact you via snail mail with said company's lien release.
