Did you know you can make money finding unclaimed money for other people?
There is a little known business that lets you do that. Unclaimed money finders locate people that don’t know they money being held for them and help them to recover it.
In return, they charge a commission after the money is recovered.

I have unclaimed money from CMP and can not find it again
Central Maine Power? I didn’t see your name on the Maine site, https://maineunclaimedproperty.gov/ .
Maybe you can call CMP and see if they have any information.
I only heard of this program a few days ago and it took me a while to figure out how to access as I am not that good with computers. I do believe I have money I never applied for because I never knew how.
