Why are you better?
We have resources that other companies simply do not have. As licensed investigators, we have access to different sources of data that are beyond the capability of non-licensed companies (some of which do nothing more than recycle old information from telephone directories). Many on-line firms do not sell current data. After hearing complaints about other on-line firms, we decided to offer our expertise to the public.
What information do I need in order to search for someone?
You can search for someone with just a first name, although we are likely to get many hits for common (or even uncommon) names. The more information you provide, the better the odds that we find the person you are seeking. To narrow a search, parameters include: first name, last name, any known addresses, geographical area, date of birth or estimated age.
What other information should I provide to help your research?
Is there an alternate spelling of the name? What state was the person born in? Did the person use a nickname? Is the name provided a maiden name?
Can you search for people in other countries?
Yes, we work all over the world. However, public records are far more restricted in most other countries. Therefore, overseas research is more costly; we can quote you individually on such a project.
What is included in a background report?
~ Personal identifiers (SSN confirmation, DOB, etc.)
~ Address History of up to 20+ years
~ Criminal Convictions Nationwide
~ Federal Courts and Bankruptcy
~ National Liens & Judgments
~ Sex Offender Data
~ State civil and criminal cases (availibility varies)
NOTE: In depth state court checks for any cases filed in Superior and District Courts (not just convictions) can be ordered seperately. Prices on request for all 50 states!
What data sources do you offer?
We offer members of the public non-restricted data such as assessor records, deed records, marketing lists, directory assistance, liens and judgements, warrants, criminal conviction, civil litigation, and moving company records.
The second level of research includes restricted data compiled by financial firms such as credit headers (ie., non financial data in credit reports). This is personal data, the dissemination of which falls under various federal and state laws. If you qualify for access to these databases (we will need to confirm that you have a permissible purpose), we can access this data on your behalf. Confirmation may require a case name, case number, court location and personal verification.
Do you offer banking information?
No. Dissemination of bank account information is illegal (with some exceptions) under the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act of 1999.
What are some examples of successful locates?
We recently found:
* two German nationals who had worked in the US over years ago and had married and changed last names.
* a witness in twenty-five year old criminal case who changed his name and moved to a different state.
* a long-lost sibling when the only information available was a first name and birth date.
* dozens of former employees from a company that had been defunct for decades.
Do you work for anonymous clients when accessing deep-level databases?
Other sites have no-hit/no fee offers. Do you?
We promise that we will use our best efforts to access the freshest data on your behalf. "No hit / no fee" offers are a joke: in almost every case, these sites find a “hit” that is only loosely based on information you submitted. In our experience, we can always claim we have a "hit"; the question is: is the hit remotely close to the target? From handling hundreds of calls each year from other company’s angry customers, we know that some company’s idea of a “hit” stretches the definition of the word.
