Does Someone Owe You Money?

We’ve all been there… you lend money to someone, or do a job for them for an agreed amount, and then they never pay up. Sometime it’s just a few dollars and you can live with the loss, but what if it’s hundreds or thousands? They’ve probably made themselves scarce so you can’t track them down. You deserve your money, but if you can’t find them, you haven’t got a chance. Luckily there is something you can do.

When someone is hiding from their bad debts, it can seem like you have no choice but to give up and accept the loss, but that isn’t so. You can hire a private detective to investigate the situation. Because you likely don’t have much information about the person, your own searches have likely until now been in vain. But private investigators have the resources and skills to track down someone, even if they really don’t want to be found. Do you need to serve them official documents, send them a bill, or just go around and have a word with them (at your own risk!), you need to know where they are.

With a detective on your side, you give yourself the best chance of finding them, and you may get helpful details such as their address, their current appearance (yes, people can be dramatic and try shaving off or dying hair, wearing fake glasses or other ridiculous measures), their usual habits so you know when you might find them at home, and other helpful information.

An investigator can utlise a whole kit of tools and techniques, such as personal, company and business networks, tracing expertise, proper surveillance and tracking equipment and much more that makes us able to effectively pursue all avenues of investigation.

So if you’re sitting around hoping your debtor will grow a conscience and come around to pay you what they owe you, or if you’ve given up on ever seeing a dime again, seriously have a think about whether it might be worth hiring a private investigator. Why should they get away with it, and why should you suffer because they’ve ‘done a runner’?
