There is some similarity between tracing debtors and seeking to find missing persons. In both cases someone has disappeared. What makes the task of tracking down a debtor different to that of finding any other kind of missing person is that the investigator starts out fully aware of the reason for going missing. The downside is that the detective also starts with the knowledge that the subject has not only gone missing intentionally, but also that he or she will go to considerable trouble to avoid being found.
This can make debtors the most difficult people of all to find. These are not people who have forgotten to pay the gas bill! They are more likely to be people who have incurred debts with no intention of settling them. It is not unknown for the subject to have previously done the same kind of thing and got away with it, when creditors have abandoned their efforts to recover the debts.
Such people may then incur new debts under different identities. Being evasive will have become second nature to them! That is why creditors find it necessary to call in professional investigators like EJM Investigations who have the training and experience to run most debtors to earth.
The sooner we can get started, the better chance our highly trained detectives have of locating the debtor before he or she can weave the web of lies needed to help them to stay below the radar. Finding the subject quickly enables our process servers to serve upon them the legal papers necessary to enable your claim to be dealt with promptly and efficiently before the debtor can disappear again.
The computer age has given us the means to speed up many of the steps we need to take in tracing debtors but in the end and especially when dealing with a particularly evasive subject, there is still no substitute for good old fashioned legwork. It may be a bit of a cliché but it is true: the old ways are often the best!
