What people use Trace Bureau for
Every instruction needs a lawful reason. These are the ones we see most, and how each works.
Trace a debtor
Individuals, sole traders and companies use Trace Bureau to locate a debtor before sending a letter before action, issuing a claim or instructing enforcement agents. You get the person’s current registered UK address, a confidence rating and a dated report you can rely on.
How it worksTrace a former tenant
Landlords and letting agents instruct us when a tenant has left without a forwarding address. A current registered address lets you claim a deposit shortfall, recover arrears or serve a claim.
How it worksServe court documents
Solicitors, litigants in person and process servers use Trace Bureau to establish where a party is currently registered before service. Our report is dated and rated, which is what you need if service is challenged.
How it worksFind a beneficiary
Executors, administrators and probate solicitors need to find beneficiaries who have moved, lost touch or never been contacted. We trace them and, where you prefer, make the first approach on your behalf.
How it worksReconnect with someone
For personal reconnections we do things differently. We find the person, pass on your message, and share an address or contact details only if they say yes. It protects them, it protects you, and it is the only way we will do it.
How it worksSomething else?
Tell us the situation on the instruction form and we will assess it before any work starts.
