In collections and repossession, alternative data enables you to skip trace people who do not want to be found by providing you with updated location information pulled from utility companies, and alerting you if someone turns on a utility in a new place. This is also useful to increase quality right-party contact because you can get up-to-date phone numbers and addresses from utility listings data, and cross-check the information you receive with other sources to be sure you’re using the right contact information to get in touch with those people and perform debt recovery.
