Use Skip Tracing Bank Accounts To Enforce Your Collection Efforts

By Jessica Clark


Collecting on past due debts is often the most difficult thing for creditors. They have employed many methods of collection to no avail and have even taken the debtor's to court and won judgments but still can't collect. This is when skip tracing bank accounts becomes effective in collecting these debts from your debtors.

Skip tracing refers to methods used by investigators, the courts and other law enforcement to locate assets of a debtor. They use these methods to locate bank accounts, places of employment, property owned and other assets that a debtor has in their possession. There are many methods used to do this and include but not limited to finding out the social security number of the debtor, their last known address, and place of employment.

If you choose to, you can use an agency to perform the skip tracing on your behalf to save you time and resources from having to do it yourself. Besides this an agency will have many years experience in locating debtor's assets and have resources available to them that are not always used by the general public in locating people.

If you can locate a bank account and it has funds in it, you can get a levy against it for a number of days until you collect the money out of it and thus satisfy all or part of the debt owed to you depending on the amount of funds in the bank account. This can help you in your collection efforts. Skip tracing reveals many things about a person and their assets and you would do well to use this service to your advantage.

Besides having an agency do the legwork of locating debtors, there are things that the creditor can do to find out information on their debtors such as phone calls to neighbors and former employers to locate the debtors last know whereabouts. This can aid the agency that you hire by providing them with enough information that you have on file about the debtor.

The Internet is a useful resource for finding out information on debtors even for collection agencies that are trying to collect on a debt. You can often find last known addresses, phone numbers and other information that is useful in locating a debtor who doesn't want to be found. This is often the case in judgment collection.

Having this resource available to you proves invaluable in collection efforts. In the past it was much harder collecting on debts owed because there just simply was not enough information or resources available to do so and it was a lot more expensive to perform these searches.

If you have a judgment that you need to collect on or many, there are agencies that can help you to locate each and every one of your debtor's assets and help you to enforce the judgment against them. It may take some time but usually, these agencies have resources available to them that are not used by the general public that can trace debtors assets and follow the paper trail straight to them so you can collect your money. It is a process but once completed will increase your bottom line and free up more time and resources for you to do business as usual without having to worry about collecting debts.
