Jim Seward’s office stating you may have “New York State Unclaimed Funds waiting for you! …There’s never any charges to search or file for unclaimed funds.” Don’t believe it. Don’t believe it.

You have a clear understanding of my agony to redeem my home. For 51 days before the auction I tried without success to keep the house OUT of the auction and pay what I owed.
