Like we said before, skip tracing is a tactic used in debt collection for finding certain individuals who owe money. It can be used by collection agents, bailiffs, court enforcement officers and private investigators.  Most collection agencies have their own staff to perform the debtor trace however there are also a few that outsource it.  Our experience is the traditional debt collections agencies still use manual collection process. We at DebtCo have developed our own forensic technology to do this direct from our platform, at scale!
