4. Why must I sign a recovery agreement (limited power of attorney form) and what does it authorize The Classified Investigative Agency to do?
The recovery agreement/LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY is a necessary part of the recovery process. It is a standardized form that we are required by law to provide. It protects you (the claimant) and us (the claimant's representative). It describes fully the terms of our agreement and the specific fee. It is "LIMITED" in scope, in that it applies to this "ONE TRANSACTION ONLY". By signing it, you DO NOT confer or imply any other legal rights to us, other than giving us the right to assist you with the filing of the claim for the specific unclaimed property account(s) listed in the agreement. WE CANNOT ASSIST YOU WITHOUT THIS SIGNED AGREEMENT.

6. Is there a time limit for recovering my property?
Whether or not there is a time limit depends upon where your funds originated. Even if there is no time limit it is better to act promptly because you are losing interest when you are not in control of your money. Why let the agencies that are holding it derive the benefit from it? The sooner you reclaim what is rightfully yours, the better.

8. What are your fees?
Pricing structures are customized. Each client is unique as are his or her investigative needs. Private Investigative fees are customarily charged on an hourly rate, plus expenses. We do charge a flat fee for some investigative services such as background checks. In order to initiate most investigations, a retainer and a signed professional service agreement are required. We will advise you if additional personnel are needed to complete an assignment. We hold the retainer funds while the investigation is ongoing. All unused retainer balances will be credited or refunded when you receive the final invoice. There are no charges for initial consultations. Once we have received a retainer, an administrative charge may be billed if you cancel. Fees are broken down as Investigative Time, Travel Time, Administrative Time, Mileage, and Expenses. Some examples of expenses are travel, lodging, rental vehicle, photographic processing, commercial database, and public record retrieval fees.
* INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO TAX AND THE APPLICABLE TAXES WILL BE CHARGED ACCORDING TO LAW. WE ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS (VISA, AND MASTERCARD) AND MONEY ORDERS. WE ALSO ACCEPT CHECKS; HOWEVER, THE INVESTIGATION WILL NOT BE INITIATED UNTIL THE CHECK CLEARS OUR ACCOUNT.
