Consumer Trace and Debtor Tracing made easy for Attorneys. 

10 October 2019


Debtor or Consumer Tracing is an integral part of legal due process.

In order for attorneys to serve documents legally to a debtor through a sheriff, the attorney must have the correct address of the debtor.


One of the biggest pain points that attorneys have are:

1.    The inability to trace a consumer and

2.    the address that the attorney has on file turns out to be invalid when the sheriff serves the document.


This inability to source a valid address for a debtor in order to perform a consumer or debtor trace results in higher costs with 3rd party vendors that charge per record trace based on an ID number input. Attempting to a perform consumer trace by yourself would generate few useful results and this is because individuals and businesses just don’t have the tools to access consumer data to find out what they need to know about debtors who have absconded. 

Therefore, debtor tracing or consumer tracing has been left up to debtor tracing companies, who could then charge excessive charges to their clients for the information they generated.
