There are many times when we hear our parents talking about the ‘good old days,’ when their friends used to get together and play creative games in an era where there was no technology. Maybe they even mentioned that they had a best friend who they grew up with but lost touch with decades ago and are unable trace them. It is even worse when they do not appear in any social media searches. Where does one start to look for them? Well, in such a situation, it would be wise to hire skip tracing services to find that old friend! Here is how a skip tracer can help you find your old classmate or friend.
One of the First Places To Look
As morbid as it may sound, skip tracing involves, first, searching to see if the person is still alive or not. This is done through the Social Security Death Index (SSDI). They will search through public records and telephone directories in order to figure out where they may be today. Then there are other places such as private records that only skip tracers have access to for a fee, which helps to launch an in depth search for the person you are looking for.
The Tools Skip Tracers Use
Of course, as much information as you can give the skip tracer, the better the chances will be of finding the person you are looking for. Skip tracers have special access to databases that have the newest information about people, and through their experience they know where to start searching. Here are a few of the tools that can be used for skip tracing:
- Public Records
- Loan Applications
- Former School Records
- Interviewing relevant persons
- Private records such as credit reports
- Phone directories
