How to Conduct Your Own Skip Trace
Introduction
You've probably seen those internet ads promising to help you find old classmates or lost connections. But do these services actually work?
Summary
Not all of these companies offer low-quality services?"many genuinely try to find the person you’re looking for, and they do have some success stories. However, due to licensing and data access limitations, these firms may lack the resources you need. Fortunately, you can often do your own skip tracing for free. With a little time and effort, you might just succeed.
Start with Search Engines
If you have internet access, search engines are a fantastic tool. Begin by typing in the person's name, and use the advanced search features to refine your results with any additional information you have. Sometimes, you might hit the jackpot and find their contact details right away.
Reach Out to Mutual Contacts
Another effective method is to contact mutual friends. You might be surprised how many people stay in touch. A simple phone call could help you find the person you’re searching for without any special tricks.
Visit Old Haunts
If you still live in the area where you knew the person, consider visiting their previous neighborhood. Talk to current residents or acquaintances who might know their whereabouts. Many people enjoy sharing news, and you might gather useful information just by asking around.
Use Postal Services
Try sending a letter to their last known address with "ADDRESS CORRECTION REQUESTED, DO NOT FORWARD. NOTIFY SENDER OF NEW ADDRESS" boldly written above the address. If they've updated their address with the post office, the letter might return with their new location, providing a useful lead.
Exercise Caution
Reconnecting with someone after years can be unpredictable. People and circumstances change, so proceed with care. If there’s any potential danger, it's best to consult a professional. A trained investigator can safely handle these situations.
Consultation and Professional Help
Licensed investigators have access to exclusive databases, giving them an edge in skip tracing. If you prefer professional help, a quick, free consultation can determine the best course of action for finding your missing connection. Professional services can often be more affordable than self-help kits and come with the added benefit of expertise and safety.
For more information or to start a consultation, consider reaching out to a licensed investigator.
