Investigate.\nthe company you purchased it from, if they have gone bankrupt then you and your claim would be with the receiver, if the receiver has wound the company up, then there is no comeback, forget it.

Contact the HR department of your past employers. They have to be able to provide you with copies.

CALL 800 # TO INSURANCE COMPANY AND ASK.  THEY HAVE A LIST--YOU CAN GET ONE MAILED TO YOU OR LOOK ON THEIR WEB SITE.  THEY CAN TELL YOU DIRECTLY OVER THE PHONE AS WELL.

If I recall correctly, most phone companies have records of this sort.  You can use their records to obtain this information.

Have you tried contacting your state insurance department for help?  Any company selling insurance in your state would have to have been registered with the state's insurance department so they should have some sort of record of what happened to the company; such as, out of business (and why), sold (and to whom), became insolvent, etc.

GEICO used to stand for Government Employees Insurance Co.\nI imagine that is how they were able to walk away from unpaid claims.  Just turn it into a corporation.  Change ownership.

One place to look is at the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporations missing participant list.  The PBGC is a U.S. Government agency that protects pensions.  They have a search page for unclaimed pesions. Look on their web site: http://www.pbgc.gov

My first port of call would be contacting your bank. As banks are the one's who repossess, they should have a list. \n\nThere are a few companies who have their own lists - but you usually have to pay for this. \n\nGood luck.

Contact the company that issued them.

You could try your local library, because they would have microfiche copies of old telephone directories.  From that you could try companies house as they would have registered businesses.\nAsk the local newspaper if they have any adverts from said company or idea of who might have owned it.

Call the insurance company that you had at that time and they should be able to pull up the claim history for that. and yes even if you are not a member of that company anymore they can still look it up for you.
