Skip Tracing
What is Skip Trace? A skip trace is an investigative technique used by Private Investigators to trace or locate an individual who is said to have “skipped out” (absconded, on the run) due to legal or financial obligations. Bear in mind that, it is not only limited to those issues.
Typically, when you cannot locate a respondent who you want to serve legal documents, the next alternative thing to do is conduct a skip trace investigation on the respondent. It can be done by accessing the Ministry of Transportation (MTO)’s database, to get an update of the respondent’s address.
It is not all the time that the information received from MTO is enough to locate an individual. Sometimes it requires the use of techniques to get an accurate location of the individual. We have Professional private investigators that can locate even the hard-to-find or elusive skips.
Private Investigation
Conducting a thorough investigation becomes necessary if the respondents can’t be found i.e. in the case of disappearance or missing. The goal is to use every investigative technique possible to find the whereabouts of the respondents.
In some family cases, the respondents may be concealing information (bank accounts, employment ). We can help to covertly locate these pieces of information which may be beneficial during the court proceedings.
