Skip Tracing

Definition of skip tracing: A skip is a person who skips out without paying a debt.  Tracing is the art of locating the skip.  Skip tracing is an old collection agency term.

Our Skip Trace Reports include developing a subject's:

1. Social Security Number (SSN)*
2. Date of birth (DOB)
3. Alias(es)
4. Most recently reported address(es)
5. Address validation
6. Geo-location

... and, when we can:

1. Phone number(s)
2. Phone number validation
3. Email address(es)
4. Email validation
5. Internet search information on the subject
6. Possible relatives
7. Possible associates

Address validation determines whether an address is commercial/business or residential, that the address is complete (includes unit/apartment number if appropriate), and when possible who owns the real property at the address (it may be the subject, or a relative, and property records usually list the value of the property).  Address validation also includes a map of the address and, when available, a photograph of the buildings(s) at the address (which can reveal the environment in which the subject resides).

On the Internet we search for information about the subject which may include profession/employment leads, a photograph, and other items helpful in identifying the subject.

Possible relatives & possible associates identify people who either reside with the subject or likely are in contact with the subject and know the subject's whereabouts.  This information can be helpful to your process server if the subject is not found at the developed address, or for substitute service of a regular member of the subject's household.
