The reason for the message
Why did we contact your company?
We search public records from the New York State Office of the State Comptroller.
If we identify a record that may belong to your business, we may contact the company or an authorized representative.
Optional assistance
What we may need to establish
Business claims can require documents showing that the claimant is the correct company and that the person handling the claim is authorized to act for it.
- Current business records
- Authorized representative information
- Historical names
- Address history
- Merger or successor records where relevant
- Other supporting documents requested for the claim
These are examples. The claim may not require every document listed.

OSC review
The New York State Office of the State Comptroller reviews and decides the claim.
Before you decide
What does it cost?
There is no upfront payment to Recover and Retain.
Our service fee is agreed with you in writing before we begin.
New York law permits location service provider fees up to 15%. That is the legal maximum, not automatically our price.
Recovered funds are payable to the claimant. OSC does not deduct our service fee from the refund.
Our agreed service fee is handled separately.
For a New York location service provider claim, OSC requires a written agreement signed by the owner and witnessed and acknowledged by a notary public. This is an OSC requirement, separate from California’s investigator process.
Your choice
Can the company claim directly?
Yes.
A business can work directly with the New York State Office of the State Comptroller.
Recover and Retain is an optional service for businesses that prefer help with research, documentation and the recovery process.
