i would say you start by written request
Who do you intend to claim from?
if you mean why did spanish explorers claim Florida is because they were looking for things i guess.
Presumably your talking about a credit in a general trade or deposit type account, (not a payroll matter, rent deposit or something on the priority list), it is simply an unsecured non-priority claim.

In the state of Florida, the Landlord must either refund your deposit with in 15 days from vacancy or send to you a reason why they won't. You then have 90 days to bring a claim against them if you refute their statement, and the same for you to act on no notice. (if they didn't contact you with the refund or letter during the prescribed 15 days.) You can pursue the refund for a period of 6 months on or after the 16th day. This could also be extended by the jurisdiction if you are a service member for up to one year with proof of PCS.

Every Fixed Deposit will have a certificate linked to it. The bank would issue you a certificate that is the proof that you have a fixed deposit with the bank that is worth 'n' rupees and matures on 'x' date. You need to carry this back to the bank and submit it and ask for cashing your fixed deposit. The bank will accept the certificate and pay you the cash that is due for the deposit.
That would be considered a civil action. In Florida you have four years.
