Locating someone with only a PO Box

noreply@blogger.com (Christie L Pitsinger) — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:09:00 +0000

Q: I am looking for my birth father and ran a basic people search but the only address listed is a P.O. Box across the country from me. What can I do?

A: Great Question and one that we get asked a lot so I'll answer it here for everyone.

This is a common problem for a lot of people. You're looking for someone but all you can find is a PO box. I want to let you know right off the bat.. please don't lose hope. It is still possible to locate your friends and family (or debtor or dead beat) using a Reverse PO Box Search.

Basically, when you fill out an application to rent a PO Box you must fill out a 1093 form and produce evidence to prove your physical address. This prevents fraud as well as illegal goods from being mailed to PO Boxes anonymously.

What that means is PO Boxes are usually rented for legitimate reasons and registered to the person who rented them. Now, on occasion, someone will convince someone else to rent a PO Box for them (undoumented citizens, business partners, domestic partners, etc).

Once someon has a PO Box they would typically forward their mail from the physical address and even use the PO Box as a billing address for credit cards, or business dealings. This address will end up getting into many "systems" both public and private whereby the investigators can then obtain the data.

The investigators that use bestpeoplesearch.com to sell their services have a great deal of success obtaining a physical address by doing a reverse post office box search. The same typically applies to personal mailboxes. Like a Mailboxes Etc/UPS store, Postal Annex, and the other private Mail Box companies.

Wage Garnishment, Locate Current Employer - Part 3

noreply@blogger.com (Christie L Pitsinger) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:28:00 +0000

Another way to be successful in Judgment Recovery is to locate your subjects Current employer so you can Garnish wages. With this information you may be able to collect a portion of his earnings (sometimes as much as 25%) until such time as your judgment has been satisfied.

The private investigators that sell services on http://www.bestpeoplesearch.com/ have had tremoudous success at locating and verifying current employmer for just this purpose.

This option works best if your debtor is not self employed or wages are not already being garnished by another judgment holder. If your subject is a member of the Military, this process is not imposible but can be more difficult.

Once you have located and verified that your debtor is employed you would take the employment information to the sheriff or other local official (depending on your state). This person is typically called a "levying officer". With the information you provide from this search the levying officer collects the money from the employer for you.

Under federal Law wage garnishment is limited to 25% of your debtor disposable income. States laws vary and some may have a lower total percentage allowed. We recommend checking with a levying officer in your local area.

Judgment holders sometimes think that a wage garnishment levy will cause the employer to fire the debtor. Under federal law employers are prohibited from terminating an employee whose wages are garnished due to a single judgment.

Best People Search and Copy Cat Fakes

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 05:28:00 +0000

Best People Search must really be the best if everyone wants to copy the name.

Ever wonder why so many web sites pay to advertise the term best people search on Google and others use the words Best People Search in the title or somewhere else in the web site to fool the search engines and people?

Think about it. Honestly, it must be because they know how popular the actual web site best people search really is. Why else would they try and fool the general web surfing public?

I suppose we at bestpeoplesearch.com could have our attorneys send letters to these other web site owners to have them stop, but that would just cause undue expense and then we would have to raise prices to pay for all that.

It's too bad that these less than honest web sites have to stoop to spam and spoofing tactics. What's worse is that unsuspecting web users fall for that stuff (just like phishing emails) and everyone looks bad (meaning the entire people search industry).

I supposed the coined 1817 phrase Caveat emptor "Let the buyer beware" is appropriate here.

However, what these spoofing, faking web sites should know is that the powers to be at Best People Search know all about it and we have our people capturing screens and documenting what these fraudsters are doing. Let's just say Caveat Venditor "let the seller beware".

When you type in best people search in Google and over 250,000,000 pages show up in the listings and you see http://www.bestpeoplesearch.com/ is the first link you should realize that is the real deal. Please don't be fooled. How many fraudsters can you spot?

Call us anytime at 760-454-7301 should you need to double check and make sure you are dealing with us. We actually post our phone number and will speak to you, how about that.

If you're looking for the real best people search, where you can hire a real live private investigator, make sure the URL has the words www.bestpeoplesearch.com.

How to Locate and levy accounts - Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Christie L Pitsinger) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:28:00 +0000

Collecting on a Judgment
Part 2 in the Series
How to Locate and Levy Accounts.

Armed with your debtors Name, Address, and SSN you can now locate any open bank accounts this subject may have.

What that will do is enable you to file a writ with the court (this may be called something different in your state).

A writ will typically allow you or the sheriff (depending on the laws in your state) to serve the Financial Institution with a formal demand to levy the bank account for funds equal to or as much as the amount of your judgment.

The private investigators that sell services on the bestpeoplesearch.com portal can locate these accounts.Understand that you can only levy accounts in your subjects name (not the spouse, the brother, the uncle, etc).

If your judgement is in the Name of an Individual and a Corparation you can locate and levy business accounts as well. However, for that search you will need the business name and FEIN number in place of a SSN.

This is a great tool for judgment recover and is one of the main avenues used by people who purchase judgements to collect funds such as law firms and judgment collection specialists.

I Need to Collect on a Judgement - Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Christie L Pitsinger) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 21:29:00 +0000

Part 1 - Collecting on a Judgement.

Now that you have been to court and won your judgment you've completed half your battle.

If your debtor doesn't pay you then what? Well, there are several ways to collect on a judgment but before you can even utilize them you need to start with the first step.

Information gathering; be sure to have your debtors full name and address - these things will be useful in gaining the next level of information.
Now you need your subjects Social Security Number. Keep in mind that your debtor may move, change jobs, close bank accounts or open new ones but their Social Security Number always remains the same.
Once you are armed with your debtors SSN you will be able to find and levy bank accounts, locate current employment and garnish wages, as well as report the debt and lack of payment on the debtors credit report.

The length of time varies from state to state as to how long you have to collect on a cash judgment but the average is between 7 - 10 years. You may want to check with the state or court where you were awarded the Judgment.

In some cases (if you're lucky) collecting on a judgment can be quick. Other times (more usuall) it can be a long process and your debtor is counting on you giving up.

Labor Law Posters stay in Compliance with Osha

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:44:00 +0000

Wow, it's Halloween! Can you believe tomorrow is November already. With only 2 months left in this year (where did the year go) it's time to make sure you update your labor law posters so you can stay in compliance with the OSH Act.

OSHA Compliance is no laughing matter.

Update your Labor Law Posters before Jan 1st.

Did you know that your employees have the right to notify you or they can contact OSHA about anything they think might be a workplace hazard? They can even ask OSHA to keep their name Confidential.

Trust me; you don't want any OSHA compliance headaches. Being a small business owner is hard enough (heck being a big business owner is tough these days) so stay up to date on the simple stuff.

Don't procrastinate. Be sure all your labor law posters and work place posters are up to date and complete. Your employees can request that OSHA do an inspection if they believe there are unsafe or unhealthful conditions.

Your employees can even file a complaint with OSHA within 30 days of retaliation or discrimination for making a safety or health complaint or exercising their rights under OSHA. It's easy to keep your employees properly notified by displaying all the required federal and state labor law posters.

Every employer knows that they must furnish employees a place of employment free from recognized hazards and comply with occupational safety and health standards issued under the Osh Act.

Employers must post all updated labor law posters every year. Occupational Safety and Health Administration work place poster, Equal Employment Opportunity labor law poster, Fair Labor Standards Act Labor Law Poster, State and Local Government posters for all states including California Labor Law Posters, Employee Right for Workers with Disabilities and Special Minimum Wage Work Place Posters.

The list goes on and on. I found one company that helps you thru the legal clutter and has all the necessary state and federal labor law posters in one place.

Get this off your 'to-do" list. Don't wait until you get "a round to it". Having updated labor law posters is the cheapest insurance against Osha Compliance you can get.

Start here and find the labor law poster you need. These guys are the cheapest, fastest and have the most up to date labor law posters I have found online.

Just thought I'd share... :)

Happy Halloween!

I'm trying to find my mother

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:17:00 +0000

I often recieve very similar questions from customers and find myself answering them in very much the same way. I will start to post them in my blog in hopes of helping many more people.

Quesiton was:
I am trying to find my mother whom I haven't had contact with in almost 10 years. I've heard she has been married a couple of times since then. The only information I have is her ss#, birthdate, and maiden name. If you are able to help me with this matter I would very grateful.

My Answer:
You have a few options for locating someone with a social security number.

A basic search by SSN:

This search lets you conduct a search from the subject’s Social Security Number. Your investigator will research the Social Security Number provided and compile a report to include Last report & Previous address history (up to 15 years), any non-cell phone numbers (current or past if found), any possible aliases as well as a death records search.

An Active Utility Search:

This search lets you conduct a search using the person’s Social Security Number to locate an address where the individual has active utilities. This is useful if the person is not trying to "skip" out on a debt. If you're looking for a friend or old acquaintance, this is a good search. However, if someone is living some place where utilities are included or has multiple residences (vacation home or is a landlord and includes utilities) this might not be the best solution.

A Guaranteed Current Address Search:

This is our most popular professional search and is used by many industry professionals when they must have a verified current address. This search is requested the most by law offices, collection agencies and process servers. This is an in-depth 4 week long investigation and promises a current address if at all possible. I will even say that if our investigators can’t find your subject with this search then it's most likely that no one could.

Golf Work Out Exercises

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:45:00 +0000

Well, summer is almost over and I hope you have enjoyed yourself. I sure did. Kids are almost back to school and it's time to start blogging again. Did any of you play any golf this summer? Of course you did. Obviously I'm not alone.

Even though my philosophy about golf is to get my cost per stroke down I still enjoy crushing a nice drive now and again.

Most golfers know that these days to be a good golfer you need to be fit. If you are not doing any form of exercises it will impact your golf swing, and your golf game will be off. I found that doing special golf work out exercises can really help your golf swing.

I found a great book I want to share with you called Golf Fitness Made Easy by Kevin Moses, BS, CSCS. Kevin is a Certified Sports and Conditioning Specialist and his book is very easy to follow with photos and his free video membership.

Of all the golf swing aids and golf training aids I have purchased over the years this is by far the best golf training aid of the century.

Do yourself a favor, if you live to play golf and you like fitness, check this out.

Credit Checks for Tenant Screening

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Mon, 26 May 2008 18:28:00 +0000

If you are a landlord looking to conduct credit checks for tenant screening don't just settle for a basic credit check . Now you can obtain a real credit report. A full credit report tells you the whole story.

You will need your applicant's authorization in writing which is typically standard on many rental applications. If your rental application doesn't have a credit report authorization release you will need to obtain one.

You can use this credit report authorization form as an example and copy it on your letterhead or include it as part of your rental agreement.

Landlords need to be careful these days. With more and more foreclosures and people turning to rentals you can't be too safe. You must make wise financial decisions when it comes to renting your property.

Most property managers and rental unit managers always run credit checks for tenant screening. If you are a landlord with one, two or a few rentals, and don't run credit checks you are playing Russian Roulette with your rental.

Now it's fast and easy to get a credit check for tenant screening. Want to know more about it, then follow this link or click on the title.

Best PC Tune Up Program - XP Registry Repair Programs - Registry Remove Replace Repair?

Does anyone else feel my pain? A few years ago I convinced my folks to get a PC. They didn't know what to get so I got them a nice used Dell from a friend. It worked great but I suddenly became the support center for everything related.

My folks are in thier 80's now and it's been about 8 years since I got my dad hooked on the internet. He's on his 3rd PC a spanking new Dell with Windows Vista.

But of course I had to move all the old files from the other PC, set the old one up for my Mom so she has her own PC now and network them so she could print on the one printer. Whew...

I don't know what my mom does online but she must click all sorts of links and stuff she gets in email. The viruses and spyware I cleaned off their PC's a few months ago took hours.

I was dertermined to find software that would be easy for both of them to use and that they could run on a regular basis as to avoid me having to clean out and "tune up" their computers.

Here's what I did for my folks and would recommend for anyone.

Run Ad-Aware at least once a month for optimal control of scans, malware removal, and damage repair.
Run Spyware Doctor at least once a month to remove spyware.
Run Registry Mechanic at least once a month to improve PC performance, remove unwanted dead links in the registry (from installing and removing programs, temporary internet stuff, and all the junk you can't see and don't need).
If you don't have an AntiVirus program - try this FREE AntiVirus software.

Judgement recovery - aka - Judgment recovery if spelled properly

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:16:00 +0000

Believe it or not thousands of people spell judgement recovery this way but the proper way to spell judgement recovery is judgment recovery. There is no "e" after the "g". I was just researching information and discovered that I'm not the only one that misspells judgment recovery from time to time.

Okay, that is not why I wrote this article. I just wanted to let my readers know that it is possible to locate bank accounts and assets legally for judgment recovery (no matter how you spell it).

We are now able to offer completely GLB Compliant and Legal bank account searches for debt recovery & judgment recovery.

If you request this search from our site, the investigator assigned to your case will provide enough information for a judgment holder to levy accounts. Judgment holders simply need to serve the bank with the levy.

How do I find out if someone is deceased?

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 22:50:00 +0000

A Social Security Death Records search also known as Social Security Death Index "SSDI" is a database of death records available online from many resources. It is included in most reverse social security number lookup searches.

This list is a brief history of the SSDI:

August 14, 1935 - President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Social Security Act into law.
1936-1937 - Approximately 30 million U.S. residents apply for and receive Social Security numbers.
Jan 1, 1937 - Workers begin acquiring credits toward old-age insurance benefits, and payroll tax (FICA) withholding begins.
1947 - Application for Social Security number no longer includes employer information.
1962 - Electronic requests for benefits become commonly used, resulting in what is known as the Social Security Death Index.
1963 - Issuance of Social Security numbers beginning with 700-728 to railroad employees was discontinued.
1965 - President Lyndon B. Johnson signs Medicare into law. Many citizens over age 65 receive Social Security cards for the first time.
1967 - Department of Defense begins using Social Security numbers instead of military service numbers to identify Armed Forces personnel.
1972 - SSA is required by law to issue Social Security numbers to any legally admitted alien upon entry, and to obtain evidence of age and citizenship or alien status and identity.
1972 - SSA begins assigning Social Security numbers and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, and the area number assigned is based on the mailing address zip code from the application.
1989 - SSA program enables parents to automatically obtain a Social Security number for a newborn infant when the birth is registered with the state.

The SSDI is an index to information about persons with Social Security numbers whose deaths have been reported to the Social Security Administration. The death may have been reported by a survivor requesting benefits. It may have been reported in order to stop Social Security Benefits to the deceased. Funeral homes often report deaths to the SSA as a service to family members.

Beginning in 1962, the SSA began to use a computer database for processing requests for benefits. About 98% percent of the people in the SSDI died after 1962, but a few death dates go back as far as 1937.

Because legal Aliens in the U.S. can obtain a Social Security card, their names may appear in the SSDI if their deaths were reported. Some 400,000 railroad retirees are also included in the SSDI.

If you are pretty sure the individual you are looking meets the criteria for inclusion in the SSDI but does not appear in the index, there are some things you might try:

If searching by name, try searching by possible alternate name spellings.
If searching by birth or death dates, change them around (i.e. instead of searching for 5 Oct 1958 [10/5/58], search for 10 May 1958 [5/10/58])
Change years around (i.e. 1974 becomes 1947).
Use all other possible spellings of the name (and perhaps some that aren't so likely). When searching for a name like O'Reilly, or other names with punctuation in them, try the name without the punctuation (e.g. OReilly).
If you are looking for someone using first and last name but can't find them try searching with first initial and last name.
There are also rare instances of what appear to be middle initials included with the last name, so you may want to try that as well.
We also recommend switching the last name and first name around.
Or, try searching for a middle name as a first name.
Even if you know a piece of information, try omitting it (i.e. if you know first and last name and death date, try leaving off the first name).

If none of these suggestions work, it is possible that the SSDI has erroneously omitted your subject. If this is the case, you can contact the SSA to correct it.

Free people search with social security number

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 01:55:00 +0000

I see a lot of people requesting a free people search, unfortunately, there is really no such thing as a free people search with social security number.

But don't despair; I will reveal the truth about free people searches here. No tricks, no schemes, no sales pitch - only information and explanations.

First let me explain. There really is no way that someone can enter a social security number into a web site and get the name or address of a person for free. Social Security Numbers are used as a National ID number and there are security issues surrounding the data.

Almost everyone you do business with (Companies, medical, dental, credit, financial, businesses, and even private firms) request your Social Security Number (Tax Identification) when you do business with them. Even your employer needs your SSN for their records.
You are constantly giving out your SSN on all sorts of forms, employment applications and much more. In some states your SSN is or was used as a Drivers License number or on a health insurance card as an identification number.
There are also many companies that collect, store and warehouse all types of data so there is a cost associated with data entry, security, data storage, encryption, administration, overhead, insurance, and so many other business expenses. That's a main reason you really can't get an effective free people search.

There is also a lot of concern about identity theft so many states and businesses are changing the way they use and share SSN information.

If you could visit a web site and enter in a SSN and get back personal information about the social security number without any form of payment, then that web site really has no idea who requested or obtains information. That would not be good.

Bestpeoplesearch.com has a "know your customer" policy and we verbally verify every new customer registration for purchases. This ensures someone from our customer service team personally speaks to every new customer that registers an account with us. This is a time consuming and expensive process but it assures information and search requests are held to the strictest of confidentiality and privacy.

Ok, back to free people search with social security number information. The only thing you can really do with a social security number that does not cost anything is a free social security verification.

That is where you enter the SSN into our special free SSN verification tool and we will tell you if the SSN is valid (meaning if the number has been issued according to the SSN high group chart from SSA.GOV) or if it's even active (via a check using SSN death records - SSDI) and also tell you what state issued the SSN (if valid).

We are proud to say that we verified over 1,000,000 social security numbers for free helping employers know if an SSN has really been issued - No charge SSN verifications.

License plate numbers owners name

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 04:57:00 +0000

If you have license plate numbers and need owners name to that license plate you can review the available searches however, you must have a legitimate DPPA purpose for your search.

There is no such thing as a public records license plate numbers search. You must hire a professional to obtain license plate information and you must provide a valid DPPA reason.

Your search must conform to a DPPA purposes as follows:

For use by any requester, if the requester demonstrates it has obtained the written consent of the individual to whom the information pertains.
For use by an employer or its agent or insurer to obtain or verify information relating to a holder of a commercial driver's license that is required under the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (49 U.S.C. App. 2710 et seq.)
For use by any insurer or insurance support organization, or by a self-insured entity, or its agents, employees, or contractors, in connection with claims investigation activities, antifraud activities, rating or underwriting.
For use by any government agency, including any court or law enforcement agency, in carrying out its functions, or any private person or entity acting on behalf of a Federal, State, or local agency in carrying out its functions.
For use in connection with matters of motor vehicle or driver safety and theft; motor vehicle emissions; motor vehicle product alterations, recalls, or advisories; performance monitoring of motor vehicles, motor vehicle parts and dealers, motor vehicle market research activities, including survey research; and removal of non-owner records from the original owner records of motor vehicle manufacturers.
For use in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, or arbitral proceeding in any Federal, State, or local court or agency or before any self-regulatory body, including the service of process, investigation in anticipation of litigation, and the execution or enforcement of judgments and orders, or pursuant to an order of a Federal, State, or local court.
For use in providing notice to the owners of towed or impounded vehicles.
For use in connection with the operation of private toll transportation facilities.

If the reason you need to obtain the owners name from license plate numbers is listed above you can request the investigator review your case. Simply follow the links to more information below.

Natural Supplements for a dog

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 20:49:00 +0000

Well, this is a bit off topic but I think enough of my readers have a dog as do I. He's with me at work often and he is a great companion. Loyal to the bone, always by my side, ah... I digress.. if people were as loyal and trusting to each other as our pets are, the world would be a better place.

I take Romeo (an Italian Greyhound) to the dog park 3 - 5 days a week. He has a blast running and playing while I talk with other dog owners. People and their pets are very fascinating.

Everyone talks about their pets or their job and it's just a great way to network with new people and get some friends for your pet. It's always interesting when I meet someone new and they ask what I do. I always get questions about how to find an ex-girlfriend from college or former roommates or track down dead beat debtors.

Just goes to show you that people search is for anyone (even pet owners) trying to find someone, even a former veterinarian for your best friend :)

While at the Dog Park I met a woman who owns a terrier (Lucy, formerly "Bo", but she had to change the name as it sounded like "No") and a pug (Spike). A few months ago part of the conversations were about how overweight some of the dogs were. Spike needed to lose about 10 lbs (he was a very heavy pug).

The topic turned to what kind of food the owners feed their dogs and what kind of natural supplements they use if any. Natural supplements for a dog are essential, especially if you have an active dog or a dog that is a little older.

I would recommend natural supplements for a dog especially if you want to keep your dog healthy and avoid vet bills in the future. Anyway, Spike lost 10 lbs in the last 60 days using a diet of homemade dog food (ground turkey, broccoli, carrots and natural vitamins and minerals mixed in) with natural supplements for a dog mixed in.

Their is so much information about dogs and pets and it is a big business. I found a wonderful new online store called muttropolis. If you need some unique items or want to check out their natural supplements for a dog I would suggest you visit their site.

Enjoy your pets and share the love for animals by giving to your local humane society, animal rescue or shelter. If you want to adopt or help rescue an Italian Greyhound please visit the IGCA Rescue.

Bulk Social Security Searches

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 04:01:00 +0000

Over the next few weeks I will be answering several questions we get asked quite often. The first question is.

Do you guys offer bulk searches?

A quick simple answer is yes, but it's just not that easy. Most of our searches are performed on an individual and personal basis by private investigators so when we hear this question we often have follow up questions to best answer this one.

Some of our questions include; what kind of bulk searches? If you have hundreds or even thousands (tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are best) of records in a database that you need "cleaned" or matched, those are service we provide but not on our standard web site.

If you have a bulk search need, it's best to call our office or use our online contact form and we can work up a custom quote for you.

For example; if you are a university, medical facility, research group or other type of institution or business and have years worth of old patient or customer records and you need to figure out which ones are deceased, that is something we can do for you quickly and inexpensively.

You can simply supply us with a text file of Social Security Numbers and we will return a file that tells you the number of valid Socials, along with invalid Socials as well as which Socials Security numbers have been reported as deceased.

Turn around for bulk Social Security Death records could be as quick as 24 - 48 business hours and if you have over 150,000 records can be just a few pennies.

We can do similar bulk searches for reverse cell phone information (albeit not as accurate as an in-depth private investigator search) but when you have hundreds or even thousands of Social Security Numbers, cell phone numbers or names that you need phone numbers for; you have to consider a bulk database provider.

Can you find current cell phone number

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 18:09:00 +0000

A recent question from a "Potential Customer" submitted on our contact us page.

Question: Within the last few months our subject has changed cell phone numbers. We need the CURRENT one. We can provide our debtors complete SSN, Name, & previous address.

Other companies on the Internet advertise this at $14.95. Can you provide the current cell phone for the same price if all of the above information is furnished to you?

Answer: I don't know of any company that can locate an individual's current cell phone number for $14.95 with much accuracy. We would appreciate it if you could send us the links from these "other companies" so we can test their services. If there's a better, lower cost, more efficient way to conduct this type of research we would love to know about it.

Since we are not aware of any private investigator that will work for $15, the $14.95 fee must be an automated database. Typically, online databases don't have the most current information (since it takes time to update those) and that's where you would need a professional investigators help.

We have been online since 1999 and offer access to prescreened professional investigators that conduct actual investigations to find accurate up-to-date information.

Although we can not help you with a $14.95 search to find a cell phone number, you should probably review the searches we offer at www.bestpeoplesearch.com.

How to find individual's addresses by social security number

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:32:00 +0000

We are often asked this question and our top three answers are listed below.

A good option is a basic reverse SSN search. This would provide the last reported address and address history information.

This is the least expensive search and the investigator would conduct several manual proprietary searches using the subjects SSN to locate address information and conduct cross reference searches to assess which of the addresses were the most recently reported.

This is a good low cost search option that can produce a current address but is not guaranteed since the investigator does not verify the last reported address is still current.

If your subjects moves often or has moved within the last year or so, it might not be current.
A Utility search is often a better option to locate an address as you will find out where the subject has utilities in his/her name as verified by the SSN.

This works best if you think your subject owns his/her own home or rents a place and has utilities in their own name.

This would not be a good option if your subject owns multiple properties or, is a landlord that provides utilities with the rental. This would also not be a good choice if your subject was someone that may be living with a spouse or a roommate that has the utilities in their name or if your subject is renting where utilities are provided.
The best option would be to request a Guaranteed Current Address Search.

This is an in-depth search where the investigator will run down all leads during a 4 week long investigation. This is the only search that guarantees the investigator will verify the address is still current.

Debt Collection Letters for Creditors

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 23:39:00 +0000

I can't tell you how many times we are asked about debt collection letters and how to collect on a debt. Well, I finally found a service worth telling you about that can provide a wide variety of debt collection letters for a creditor.

It seems that the collection business is a big mystery to many individuals and small businesses that are owed money. Whether it's from a bad check someone gave you (NSF), a judgment, child or spousal delinquencies, or a promissory note gone bad, it's difficult for the average person to be a creditor.

I have helped many collection agencies and skip tracers with search services and I wanted to introduce a new flat rate collection company that offers debt collection letters for creditors.

If you are trying to collect on any of the following debts try this service:

Delinquent Accounts
Unpaid Invoices
Past Due Bills
Court Judgments
Unlawful Detainer Judgments
Unpaid Child/Spousal Support
Bounced Checks
Debtors that are companies or corporations

Letters and flat rate plans and packages also available that include a pre-collect or "soft" collection letter as well as a payment plan that allows you to send a reminder letter once a month for up to 12 months if you and your debtor can agree on a payment plan.

It also solves another frequent question about how to report a debt to the three collection bureaus. One of the biggest benefits of working with a flat rate is that there are no commissions or percentages to pay and for only a few bucks you can have your debtor reported to the credit bureaus. This is really your only recourse if the debtor just won’t pay.

Once you report a debtor to the credit bureau they will need to pay you in order to get any new credit. If they try to purchase a home, car or anything that requires credit, your debt will show up on the report. We know of several instances where a very small debt forced the debtor to pay the balance in order to get a car loan.

Google offers free 411 for business listings

noreply@blogger.com (Noah Wieder) — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 00:36:00 +0000

Just saw that Google has introduced a new FREE 411 service. You can ask for BUSINESSES by name or Category (no residential listings).

Call 1-800-GOOG-411 (1 800 466 4411). The service will also provide details, such as address and will CONNECT you for FREE.

This is easier to do than the free GOOGL (46645) text messaging if you are driving, and sure beats paying the 411 fee through your cellular provider.
