The New Zealand Law Society seems to think that it's a legitimate business:

If:
(a) you can't think of any way of finding out what money might be owed to you (so that you can claim it yourself) ;
(b) you're not being asked to pay anything up front ;
(c) what you're being asked to sign doesn't commit you to anything other than giving up a percentage of your payout ; and
(d) you're not being asked to provide your bank details ;
then I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't get involved with the company.

As long as you don't have to payout or give details it can't do any harm.A few months ago a friend of mine recieved a similar letter from a British based firm,I don't remember the name. After calling round his family he found that they had all recieved a similar letter so they decided to give it a go and see what happened.Eventually they each recieved a check for just over a £1000 not a bad gift from somebody they'd never heard off.
My ex wife & I have received separate letters from Rightful Claims (RC) (part of Worthington Clark Pty - WC) in August 2021, regarding lost / unclaimed shares & dividends when Colonial Mutual was taken over by the Commonwealth Bank (CBA), my research has shown both RC & WC to be legitimate, has there been anyone who has dealt with these companies successfully?
Hi Buenchico
I have researched the companies & it seems they are legit, also tried to locate via numerous sites for Colonial & Commonwealth Bank (CBA) lost share & dividends, no success!
They have disclosed CBA shares & dividends but only the monetary value (no reference #'s of course!), which seem feasible as my ex wife & I had endowment policies with Colonial Mutual
But they do require some documents to be witnessed, Limited Power of Attorney, Letter of Authority, Payment Instructions (I opened a new online bank account for this purpose), passport & proof of connection to my current address
There is no fee payable up front, I negotiated the original 30% fee to 17.5%
Your thoughts?
