Skip Tracing for Debt Collectors

It is not uncommon for Americans to be so deep in debt that they simply stop making payments on what they owe. Some adults feel like they do not need to pay off their debts, while others get scared because they don’t know how they can repay what they owe. In some cases, you may find that the individual has basically disappeared completely. If this is what you are dealing with, Roland Investigations has the solution for you: skip tracing. We can help you locate that missing individual.

What Does Skip Tracing Mean?

Skip tracing basically means utilizing different databases and resources to locate a person who has basically “skipped” or left town.

The Process of Skip Tracing

To begin the process of skip tracing, you, as the actual client, will talk to the skip tracer about your subject. Any pertinent information you have on the person should be shared; no details should be left uncovered. After you have shared what you know, the skip tracer will turn to other sources to collect even more information. These resources may be:

• Loan and job applications
• Utility bills
• Phone records
• Credit reports
• Criminal background checks
• Public records databases
• Social media accounts

In many cases, the skip tracer will also turn to the family, friends, and coworkers of the subject to find out as much information as they can.

However, the internet is a great resource for a skip tracer. The skip tracer does not have to spend hours at a local library, searching through public records. Instead of physical trips to the friends and family of the subject, they can simply send a social media message. In many cases, information found from the web is enough for the skip tracer to find who you are looking for in a short period of time.

The odds will not be in your favor if the person a skip tracer is hired to find is yourself. They will have the resources to find out more information than you would think possible. If you have reason to believe you are being looked for, it will be in your best interest to comply.

A skip tracer is a valuable tool. Lawyers, private investigators, and many others frequently turn to skip tracing services for help. Roland Investigations is here to help you any way that we can. Call us today to learn more. We can help you find your missing person, quickly and effortlessly.
