You have obtained a judgment. After a long, prolonged lawsuit, you finally have the court’s order to collect the money your defendant owes you. Somehow, though, that person has suddenly disappeared. You cannot find their address anywhere. You did the obvious and searched social media as well as Google, but the information that you found was the person’s old address.

Maybe you have to sue someone and have the same problem. The last address that you have for them is no longer accurate, but you have to have their current one in order to serve them papers. A search on a people finder website did nothing to come up with any new information.

Finding a long lost family member can be more than frustrating. It can be heartbreaking. All you want is to find their whereabouts, so you can find out if they are all right or not.

All these scenarios can be worked out with the help of a skip trace search. Known for the expression to “skip town”, this is a special type of search that results in accurate, current address information for defendants, family members, and old friends.

A skip trace search is something you can order through a private investigator. Using the same highly accurate databases as law enforcement they can quickly find that individual for you. The address will also be verified to be sure it is the one you need.

To get a search like this done, just contact your PI. It does not cost a lot and the results will amaze you. There can be a tremendous relief in finding the address you need. A skip trace saves you time, stress and it can help you complete service on a defendant or help you recover the money you are owed from a judgment.
