Debtor tracing can be used to discover and/or confirm:

  • Personal details of the debtor (name, address and contact details).
  • Active address and contact details of company owners and/or directors.
  • The trading status of a company.
  • The employment status and details of an individual.
  • The value and location of any assets owned by an individual or company.
  • Whether any County Court Judgements have been issued on an individual or company.
  • Whether any bankruptcy proceedings have been issued against an individual or company.
  • Whether an individual is in prison and, if so, where.

    Credit Checks

    The creditworthiness of a customer should be checked before credit is offered. A credit check assesses credit score and determines whether there is any adverse information about the company or individual, such as County Court Judgments.

    Employment Tracing

    An individual’s employment status is vital information when devising your debt recovery strategy. In fact, in many cases, once your debtor is aware that you have confirmed their employment details, they will begin the repayment process.

    If a tenant disappears, confirming their new address is necessary if you want to communicate with them about unpaid rent or damage to the property.
