ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - If you are an Orange County resident, you may be owed some money, but time is running out to collect.
The Orange County Clerk of Courts says that they want to remind the public that there is less than one month remaining for any unclaimed money to be claimed from the Clerk's Office. Many people may not be aware that they may have an unclaimed check with their office.
They say that the checks listed are those that were mailed, but never cashed, perhaps because the intended recipient moved away and did not leave a forwarding address or put the check away and forgot about it.
Look at the unclaimed checks list HERE. If you are on the list, you have until September 1st to claim the money. If you fail to do so, the money will be forfeited and deposited into the Clerk's Fine and Forfeiture Fund.
The list of more than 5,000 checks reportedly includes uncashed jury checks, vendor payments, refunds, and cash bonds from as low as eleven cents to over $7,000.
“Our customers deserve to receive the money that is rightly theirs,” said Clerk of Courts Tiffany Moore Russell. “That is why every year we go above and beyond to spread the word about our unclaimed checks list.”
