How to Understand Skip Tracing

Understanding Services
It is illegal to pretext a Financial Institution or Telephone Company in the
United States we do NOT do such - those days are over. However, phone numbers
still need to be obtained and identified, employment located, people skip-
traced, assets located for the purposes of, process serving, surveillance,
enforce judgment, repossess autos and locate missing people, to name a few.
Ahearn Search offers the next best thing! We have taken twenty years of skip
tracing, pretext skills, and reinvented them to follow the letter of the law.
To coin the phrase, we have gone old school, back to when there were no
databases to search or Google to Google. We pick up the phone and contact the
subject, the subjects family, friends and neighbors to locate the
information you need for your investigation.
Utility Searches
We search to find if your subject has utility services, not everyone does.
This is an intensive search and we charge if service is located or not.
Skip Tracing
We search for your subject and provide a residence or point of contact. We do
this old school, we pick up the phone, locate old neighbors, friends,
employment, etc. Skip tracing is time consuming, we charge if we locate the
subject or not.
Number Locates
We locate point of contact for your subject, be it home, work, cellular phone.
Again not everyone has a phone; we charge for our time searching, we do not
contact the phone companies.
Reverse Listings
We skip trace the phone number, by either contacting the subject number or
running the number through organizations where the number may have been left
as point of contact. For example, next time you order pizza, look on the box
your name and address are preprinted with your phone number. Next time you
rent a movie, tell them you dont have your card, can they bring up by phone
number. The search is not 100%; however, it is 100% legal since we do not
contact Telephone
