The Skip Tracing Process Explained

Here’s a breakdown of how our skip tracing services work:

How Does the Skip Tracing Process Work?

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Information Gathering

The first step is gathering all available information about the missing person. During your consultation, we collect essential details such as full names, last known addresses, contact numbers, email addresses, and any other data you may have. The more information you provide, the higher the chances of success in locating the individual.

Step 2: Database Searches and Public Records

Skip tracers in Manchester have access to various public records and legal databases. These resources are invaluable when it comes to narrowing down the search. We utilise credit reference agencies, voter registration data, court documents, and more to gather relevant information that can pinpoint the person’s location.

Key Records Used in Skip Tracing

Here are some key records used by our investigators:

  • County Court Judgments (CCJs): Information on any legal disputes, payments, and debts.
  • Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs): Indicates if someone has entered a formal agreement to pay off their debts.
  • Property Ownership Databases: Useful for locating addresses tied to an individual.

Step 3: Interviews and Surveillance Techniques

When public records alone don’t provide enough information, our investigators may conduct interviews with family, friends, or colleagues who may have insight into the missing person’s whereabouts. Additionally, surveillance methods might be employed to monitor key locations, increasing the likelihood of locating the individual.

As Manchester-based professionals, we strictly adhere to UK law and data protection regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All information is gathered in an ethical and lawful manner, ensuring your search respects the missing person’s privacy rights.
