About
Our Organization
Painted Sky Refund Recovery Experts is a small group of abandoned money professionals located in Oklahoma. If you've received a call or a letter from us, it's because we've found funds being held by the government that may be rightfully yours.
We know the "ins and outs" of government agencies in all states. If a government agency is holding your funds, we know how to get them! Since after a certain period of time elapses, the government may get to keep your funds, it's always best to have professionals on your side.
Get To Know Me
Hi there!
We might have called you or a member of your family already, and if we haven’t, we will soon. I believe it's important for you to know who I am and trust that I have your best interest at heart.
Like you, I often hesitate to answer calls from unfamiliar numbers, but I’ve learned the hard way that sometimes it’s a mistake not to answer. That’s why this business is so important to me.
I completely understand the need to be cautious about scams—it's unfortunate, but that's the world we live in now. We, at PSRRE, will send letters, emails, and social media messages, but nothing beats the personal touch of a real phone call.
In 2008, my husband and I faced a situation that cost us over $400,000. It was our money, but because we didn’t know about it, we lost it. Nobody from the government called to say, “Hey, we want to give you some money!” We missed the deadline, and the state kept it.
Honestly, if someone had taken the time to explain where the money came from, we would have done whatever it took to claim it. Thinking about it still makes me feel sick—we struggled financially for a long time afterward, and the whole experience was a nightmare we couldn't escape. It affected every aspect of our lives.
The government knows how to work the system, believe me.

How Do We Help You?
Because we never ask you for money upfront and we cover all the costs—like notaries, lawyers, and other expenses—we need a signed agreement before we can explain all the details.
In our case in 2008, the state used a process called “escheatment,” where unclaimed assets were turned over to the state. That’s how they kept what was rightfully ours.
Now, let me introduce myself. My name is Cherie, and I’m 65 years old. I live in Oklahoma with my husband. We have five grown children and eleven grandchildren. Over the last 43 years, I’ve had extensive careers in both the banking and legal fields. I started my journey in 1979 at Piedmont Federal Savings and Loan in Manassas, Virginia.
In 1989, I transitioned into the legal field as a Court Reporter after extensive schooling and training. By 1992, I was working as an in-house court reporter for an investigation firm on 17th & K in Washington, D.C. I learned a lot about skiptracing and finding people.
After that, I started my own court reporting firm in Northern Virginia, working in courtrooms and law offices across Maryland, Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, Texas, and California.
In 2006, I purchased a court reporting firm in Seymour, Tennessee. Being so close to the University of Tennessee, I spent a lot of time working with law students on campus. One of my major clients was the State of Tennessee Department of Children’s Services in Nashville. It was a young law student who told me about "refund recovery" and the rest is history. It's an addicting profession, because each time you help someone you say, "just one more today."
Through daily depositions and court cases, I realized that what happened to us should never have happened to anyone. We couldn’t afford the attorneys we needed, and nobody gave us the advice required to recover what was ours. Make no mistake—our loss was out of our control.
This information is often kept secret from those who are owed money, and they just hope the claimant doesn't find out.
In January 2024, I decided that just because we were wronged doesn’t mean others shouldn’t have the chance to recover what’s theirs. Some people could receive a check large enough to pay off a car, a house, medical bills, student loans, or even do something enjoyable with their family. And some would finally be able to pay off credit cards or help someone else out.
​
Painted Sky Refund Recovery Experts (PSRRE) focuses on claims that are worth the time and money to pursue, sometimes taking months to recover what the claimant is due.
By the time we reach out to you or your family member, we’ve already invested hours, days, or even months, hoping you’ll let us help you recover what’s rightfully yours. I hope we get the chance to assist you soon. And I hope one day you’ll be grateful that my team and I were so persistent.
I’ll probably be calling from my personal phone number at 865-224-0677. Save that number so you’ll recognize me when I call. Feel free to reach out to me anytime—if I've called you, we need to hear from you ASAP. We’re still within the claim period, but time is running out!
If you’ve heard from PSRRE, know that you’re a priority for us.
Regards,

OUR MISSION
If a claim for your funds isn't made in time, the funds often "escheat" to the agency holding them, meaning you can no longer claim them. It's your money, and the government shouldn't be able to take it from you. Our mission is to ensure that this never, ever happens. We audit government files and documents for these unclaimed funds, and when we find them, we make it our personal mission to reunite them with their rightful owner.
OUR VISION
We'd love to see you reclaim the funds we've found for you! What would you do with a nice, unexpected payday? In this economy, everyone's got a use for extra money. Let's make sure the government doesn't end up with it!
