Skip Tracing

Having trouble finding a subject?

Let our professional skip tracing services assist you in finding all that you require of your subject in question to have him/her properly served. Just give us all the pertinent information you can, and we'll take it from there. We'll try to get your results in a timely manner and as efficiently as possible.

Skip tracing is done by collecting as much information as possible about the subject. The data is then analyzed, reduced, and verified. Obtaining new and correct points of contact is critical. Sometimes, the subject’s current whereabouts are in the data but are obfuscated by the sheer amount of information or disinformation. More often, the data will be used to identify third parties that might be able to assist in the process. This is where the job becomes more than mere research.

Records that “skip-tracers” use may include phone number databases, credit reports (including information provided on a loan application, credit card application, and in other debt collector databases), job application information, criminal background checks, utility bills (electricity, gas, water, sewage, phone, Internet, and cable), social security, disability, and public tax information. While some of these records may be publicly available, some cannot be accessed without an appropriate search warrant, which is only available to law enforcement.

Even when no specific information is returned, public databases exist that cross-reference skip-tracing information with others; the “skip” may have lived in the past. For instance, if previous records show a “skip” lived in the same house as a third party, the third party may also be “skip trace” to locate the “skip.” (Certain Restrictions Apply).
