Skip Trace
A skip trace is the process of locating a person's whereabouts who has "skipped" town or gone missing. This term is commonly used in the context of debt collection, where a debtor may have moved without providing a forwarding address, making it difficult to locate them. Skip tracing involves searching various databases, public records, and other sources of information to track down the person's current address and contact information. Skip tracing may also involve using more advanced techniques, such as surveillance or investigation, to locate the person. It is a commonly used practice in law enforcement, private investigation, and debt collection industries.
