You asked us

"What type of information do you need from us to allow you to begin your enquiries?"

Whilst we do many different types of investigations the core information that we require is typically the same - Full name, d.o.b. and last known address. This basic information allows us to begin work on the majority of the instructions that you send to us e.g. trace, discreet investigations and status reports or means interviews. Dependant on the specifics of the case other types of data that are often needed or of help are:

• Account/payment  history (for means interviews or shortfall counselling)
• Known or rumoured asset details if we are instructed to try and find further assets or report on lifestyle etc
• Copy invoices and correspondence to support our visit when recovering commercial debt
• A description, if known, of the subject can often help when serving legal process - as you know some do try to deny their identity!
• Phone numbers are always advantageous. Even old ones found in files can sometimes lead us to the subject
• A few lines of background information to your case is invariably a help. It provides us with an outline understanding of the issues you are facing and often an understanding of the subject!
• Previous or linked address information if you have it and date of last contact with the subject can assist with our efforts to trace or serve the subject

Of course, each case is different and we are always happy to chat through cases with you and decide what is likely to be the best course of action for you. Please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and give us a call.
