The Convenience That Silently Steals Your Cash


Auto-pay promises convenience, but it often becomes a silent money drain. Overdrafts, forgotten subscriptions, and sneaky fees can quietly erode your bank balance and credit card limits, month after month. It's time to stop the leak and become your own financial detective. We're here to help you perform a critical audit of where your money is really going—and get it back.


Why an Immediate Audit? Your Money, Found Today!


This isn't about long-term savings; it's about "found money"—cash that should never have left your account or is sitting there waiting to be reclaimed. A professional review can literally put hundreds of dollars back in your pocket right now and prevent future financial leaks.


Account 1: Your Bank Account – The Overdraft & Fee Hotbed

Your checking account is the frontline of your finances. Banks often charge for overdrafts, monthly service, out-of-network ATMs, or even inactivity.


  • Our Service: We'll meticulously review your bank statements (going back 6-12 months) to identify every overdraft, service fee, and questionable charge.

  • Recovery Action: We'll then contact your bank on your behalf, leveraging our expertise to politely but firmly request refunds or waivers for these fees. We know the right language and strategies to maximize your chances of success.

  • Prevention: We'll also advise you on how to adjust your account settings or choose a better account type to prevent future fees.


Account 2: Your Credit Card Statements – Hidden Subscriptions & Late Fee Waivers


Credit cards are notorious for accumulating recurring charges you no longer need or recognize. They also offer a prime opportunity for fee reclamation.


  • Our Service: We'll scrutinize your credit card statements for forgotten subscriptions (streaming, apps, gym memberships, online services) and incorrect charges. We'll help you cancel what's unnecessary and pursue prorated refunds where applicable.

  • Recovery Action: We'll call the credit card companies on your behalf to negotiate one-time waivers for late fees or other penalties, especially if you have a good payment history. We also review annual fees on cards you don't use.


Account 3: Your Utility Bills – Billing Errors & Usage Adjustments


Billing errors on utilities (electricity, gas, water, internet) happen more often than you think. Incorrect charges or unexplained spikes can go unnoticed.


  • Our Service: We'll compare your current and past utility bills to identify any unexplained spikes, billing errors, or incorrect tax calculations.

  • Recovery Action: We'll contact your utility providers to dispute discrepancies and fight for credits directly to your account. For internet or cable, we can even help you negotiate better rates or loyalty discounts.


The Bottom Line: Your Money Stays Your Money – We Make It Happen
