Skip Tracing & Person Locate
Find the people your case depends on.
Licensed New York investigators conducting professional skip tracing and person-locate research for attorneys, insurers, collections, and families.
Overview
Skip tracing in New York, done right.
Skip tracing is the investigative process of locating a person whose current whereabouts are unknown. The term comes from a subject who has "skipped" — moved without leaving a forwarding address. In practice, the people who need to be found range from elusive debtors and missing witnesses to estranged family members and individuals required for lawful service of process.
TrueSight Investigations is a licensed New York private investigations firm (NYS PI License #11000230052) with the database access, field experience, and professional standards required to develop, verify, and document an accurate current address — not just a list of stale possibilities.
Every locate engagement is conducted within the bounds of state and federal law, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. We do not pretext, and we do not use deceptive means to obtain protected information.
Methodology
How we locate a subject.
We layer database research with field verification so the address you receive has been confirmed, not assumed.
