What is Skip Tracing?
In general, skip tracing is the process of tracking down people who are missing, unresponsive, or simply hard to find. Skip tracing is an investigatory practice that is commonly used to pinpoint an individual's whereabouts due to unpaid debts or some unfulfilled financial obligations. The term "skip" was derived from the idiom "to skip town," which means to leave somewhere in a hurry without many clues on where the person went. And "trace" refers to the act of "tracing down" the location of the missing person.
How Does Skip Tracing Work?
There are three main aspects when it comes to skip tracing:
- verify the information of the person we are searching for.
- gather all of the necessary information.
- contact friends and family.
Let's take a look at some more details regarding these aspects.
Verify Information
In many cases, the reason someone cannot find a person is that there is missing or incorrect contact information. The first step for skip tracers start by verifying the outdated contact information that the client has, which includes their last know address, a phone number, email address, and the social security number. In some cases, simply getting this information is enough to find the person. If not, we move on to the next step.
Gather All Necessary Information
If verifying the information does not work in locating the person in question, then it is time to gather all of the necessary information about the person. As a skip tracer, we will go through public records, letters, files, and proprietary investigation databases in order to find more information about the person. These records include the following inform:
- address history
- driver's license history
- phone number records
- employment history
- social media
- criminal records
- tax records
- court records
- property records
- civil records
- credit header data pulled from credit applications
Contact Friends & Family
If the information in the previous two steps is not enough to locate the person, then the skip tracer will turn to contacting friends and family. If the person did indeed leave town, then the chances they told someone close to them is pretty high and we can learn more about how they left and their potential future location. Any information is good information at this point.
