The sooner you restore contact with a former customer the sooner any losses can be recovered. Our confidential debtor tracing services aims to restore contact with your former customer in the shortest possible timescales, leaving you in a position to enter into dialogue or legal/recovery action with the tenant. We'll keep you informed of progress, retain a detailed log and audit of all steps we've taken and only use our own comprehensively trained staff, managed in a controlled and secure environment. We can just undertake the trace or provide you with a trace & collect service whereby we recover the outstanding sum. Ultimately, restoring contact with your former customer increases your ability to receive payment. If you don't know where your customer is, how can you get paid? A consequence of modern society is a highly mobile population. Individuals move address at a far greater frequency than in previous generations. By tracing your missing customers, we can place you in a position to collect any sums due that may otherwise be written off. Write offs filter through as a cost to us all. Few suppliers could deny their charges or tariffs are higher to reflect bad debts incurred by missing customers.
We specialise in helping businesses and consumers trace and/or recover debts that are due to them. Invariably, the person or persons owing the debt may have moved house and will require tracing. We are able to undertake the tracing and recoveries in house. Many of the larger Debt Collection Agencies in the UK now use 1st Locate ® for tracing and debt recovery purposes. Our other clients include Gas, Electricity and Water Utilities, Banks, Building Societies, Local Government and Solicitors. order a trace now
