Default Skip Tracing? (Wall of Text inc)

Actually, I will try a different way to explain this to you, since you
seem to automatically start hostile.

How exactly would /you/ approach the topic? Bear in mind I don't work
for myself, but for a professional group, with letterheads, lawyers,
insurance, overtime pay, and occasionally court orders allowing process.
I also typically have personal information about my target before I
start; name, DOB, license number, social security details, bank account
details, credit history, sometimes police history.

How would you start the process of finding this person and bringing them
back into contact with their creditors or court orders? I certainly hope
you're not still in the mindset that a skip tracer is a bounty hunter,
'cause that's not the case. A bounty hunter captures and retrieves bail
bond breakers. A skip tracer tracks people down by the information they
leave behind.

Sometimes, I am told, in the US a skip tracer will work with a bounty
hunting company, or hire out to bounty hunters. Here in Australia, the
practice is not legal; and it makes my job a lot quieter.

Does /that/ answer it for you?
