What to Do If You’ve Been Contacted by a Third Party About Your Surplus Funds

After a foreclosure, you might receive unsolicited calls, letters, or emails from third parties offering to help recover your surplus funds — for a cut of the proceeds. Here’s what you should know if approached by such entities:

• Be Wary of Scams - Some organizations prey on homeowners by charging exorbitant fees or by pretending to be legitimate service providers. Always verify credentials and never sign over financial rights without due diligence.
• Understand the Risks - Granting power of attorney or signing away claim rights to a third party can limit your control over surplus funds. Once someone else steps in, you may receive far less than your rightful share.
• Seek Trustworthy Representation - Unlike third-party intermediaries, working directly with a law firm provides legal advocacy and a higher level of accountability. We pursue your claim through established legal channels and never leave you guessing.

If you have questions about a third-party offer, reach out to us online for a free consultation before making any commitments.

How Long Does It Take to Recover Surplus Funds in DeKalb County?

Recovery timelines can vary based on the specifics of your case, including the complexity of your claim, the responsiveness of the foreclosure entity, and the backlogs in the local court system, if legal steps are required.

Generally, here’s what you can expect:

1. Notification of Surplus Funds - Within a few weeks of the foreclosure sale, the foreclosing entity must notify you if excess funds exist. 
2. Claim Submission - Filing your claim may take several more weeks. Ensuring all relevant documentation is accurate and complete is key to avoiding procedural delays.
3. Hearing & Approval - If there are objections or competing claims, the process may take longer as the court reviews disputes and determines how the funds should be distributed. The court may appoint a neutral party to hold the funds until the matter is resolved. This step can extend the timeline by several months.
4. Fund Disbursement - Once the court or foreclosure entity approves your claim, your funds can be disbursed, typically within a few weeks.
