Skip tracing is the process of locating individuals who have intentionally or unintentionally become unreachable. In debt recovery, it plays a vital role when borrowers change addresses, switch phone numbers, or go silent to avoid repayment. Without reliable contact information, even the best recovery strategy can hit a dead end.

This blog dives into the tools and techniques used in modern skip tracing—from database analysis and public records to field investigations and digital tracking. A good skip tracing process not only finds the borrower but also gathers valuable information about their current financial and employment status, which aids in planning the next steps.

Ethics and compliance are equally important in skip tracing. We’ll discuss how to conduct investigations responsibly, avoid harassment, and ensure your recovery efforts stay within legal boundaries. With the right balance of technology, tact, and tracking, skip tracing can significantly improve your recovery success rate.
