Vlog: What is Skip Tracing and How You Can Use It

"Skip Trace” is the process of using the information you have about somebody to locate their current whereabouts, often for legal, financial, or investigative purposes. It is commonly used by debt collectors, private investigators, process servers, and law enforcement to find individuals who are hard to reach, such as those avoiding contact or failing to make payments.

Skip tracing isn't only for business needs. This tool can also be handy for finding a friend from high school that you’ve lost contact with, locating an old neighbor, or tracking down someone who owes you some cash.
