Skip tracing
Moved, missing or “never heard of them”? We find the collateral.
A repossession assignment is only as good as the address on it. When the address is stale, our skip tracers go to work, and because we also run the recovery trucks, a fresh lead turns into a recovery fast.
Skip tracing combines desk research with local legwork. We work from your file and lawful, permissible-purpose data sources, check public records, follow up on references and employers, and verify in the field before we report back. You get a location you can act on, not a list of maybes.
What you get
- Current address and location verification
- Vehicle sightings and field checks
- Updated contact details where lawfully available
- Notes on what we checked, so nothing gets done twice
- A direct handoff to our recovery team when the unit is located
How we work
Thorough, lawful and discreet.
Finding people carries responsibility. We work only for clients with a legitimate business purpose, such as a lender with a security interest, a dealer, or an attorney with a case, and only through lawful sources.
- Permissible purpose only. Consumer data is used the way the law allows, under rules like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act.
- No pretexting. We don’t pretend to be someone else to get information.
- Confidential. Your files and your borrowers’ information stay between us and you.
- We say no. We don’t locate people for personal disputes or for anyone we think means them harm.
Process service
Papers served promptly, with proof.
Lawsuits, small-claims cases and other legal matters can’t move forward until the other side is properly served. We deliver your documents and give you the proof the court needs.
We serve summonses and complaints, small-claims papers, subpoenas and other legal notices throughout Kootenai County and the surrounding area. Every service is documented with the date, time, place and manner of delivery, and we return a signed proof of service for you or your attorney to file.
