The terms that govern your use of DFH Recovery Services and our surplus funds recovery process.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of dfh-recovery-services.polsia.app (the "Site") and the surplus funds recovery services provided by DFH Recovery Services ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site or submitting a claim inquiry, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
DFH Recovery Services helps individuals and their heirs identify and recover surplus funds — money left over after a property is sold at a tax sale or foreclosure for more than the amount owed. Our service includes:
✅ We charge no upfront fees. Our fee is only collected if and when funds are successfully recovered on your behalf.
Our contingency fee is calculated as a percentage of the gross amount recovered. The applicable rate is determined by the claim amount recovered:
| Tier | Amount Recovered | Our Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Up to $5,000 | 40% |
| Tier 2 | $5,001 – $15,000 | 35% |
| Tier 3 | $15,001 – $30,000 | 30% |
| Tier 4 | $30,001 – $60,000 | 25% |
| Tier 5 | $60,001 – $100,000 | 20% |
| Tier 6 | Over $100,000 | 15% |
The fee percentage is applied to the gross amount recovered. Attorney fees for any required legal proceedings are separate and will be disclosed to you before you commit to retaining legal representation. You keep the remainder after our fee is deducted.
Important: Submitting a claim inquiry does not guarantee recovery of funds. Surplus fund claims are subject to legal procedures, deadlines, competing claims, and court review. DFH Recovery Services makes no representation that funds will be recovered in any particular amount or timeframe.
Factors that may affect claim outcomes include:
We will inform you promptly if we determine that a claim is unlikely to proceed, and you will incur no fee in that case.
