Skip Tracing

What is Skip Tracing/Debtor Tracing?

Skip tracing or debtor tracing is one of the tracing services that we provide. It is the process of locating a person’s whereabouts for a number of purposes. It is usually used by a wide range of professionals and organisations for different reasons:

  • Debt Collection: Locating debtors who owe money
  • Private Investigators: Finding missing persons and/or conducting background checks
  • Landlords: Finding tenants who have absconded and owe rent arrears or need to pay for damage in properties that have occupied
  • Insurance Companies: Locating policyholders or investigating claims
  • Employers: Verifying the backgrounds of potential hires or locating former employees
  • Government Agencies: Locating individuals for various investigations or for legal reasons
  • Lawyers: Finding clients, witnesses, or defendants in legal proceedings

The process involves gathering and analysing many types of information such as public records, social media activity, credit reports, and more to track down the person’s current location. 

The Process

Our process of skip tracing/debtor tracing involves a few steps and each case can vary significantly, so the methods used can differ based on the specific circumstances and information available. 

 

The key steps of skip tracing/debtor tracing are: 

  • Information gathering: The process of skip tracing/debtor tracing begins by collecting as much information about the specific person as possible. This can be their full name, last known address, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth and any other information that is useful in locating them. 
  • Database searches: Specialised skip tracing/debtor tracing software or databases that compile public records, credit reports and other data sources can be used to provide more information on the person. 
  • Social media investigation: Social media is a common platform used by investigators to find any recent updates and whereabouts of the specific person.
  • Public records check: Public records such as voter registration, property ownership and other local sources can provide clues to the location of this person. 
  • Contacting known associates: Reaching out to friends, family members or colleagues can help provide current information on the individual.
  • Field investigation: If necessary, in-person surveillance or inquiries can be conducted to gather more leads or confirm information. 
  • Analysis and reporting: Once all the information is derived through these various methods, a report will be compiled to show the findings.
