What is a Tracing Agent and what do they do?

A Tracing Agent finds missing persons, long lost friends, relatives, birth parents, ex-colleagues, beneficiaries of wills, witnesses to crimes, debtors (e.g absconded tenants), cowboy builders, assets (e.g divorce, probate, or corporate acquisition), owners of land, owners of vehicles, and finds money that has been stolen through scams, like crypto phishing.

Tracing Agent Case Study #1: Finding an Ex-Military Colleague

Location: London

Tracing Case Background

At Bond Rees, we are a renowned private investigations and tracing agency known for completing thousands of successful tracing jobs across the UK. Our tracing agents were called by a client seeking to locate ex-military personnel for a reunion event. The client provided limited information, including names, approximate ages, and last known locations of the individuals. Bond Rees took on the challenge to trace these ex-military personnel efficiently and discreetly.

Investigation Process

Initial Research: Bond Rees tracing agents started by conducting thorough online research using specialised databases and social media platforms to gather any available information on the ex-military personnel.

Utilising Military Networks: Leveraging our network of contacts within the military community, we reached out to former colleagues and associations to gather leads on the whereabouts of the individuals.

Field Investigation: In cases where online information was scarce, we deployed field investigators to visit known addresses, local military bases, and relevant community centres to gather first-hand information.

Surveillance: In instances where the ex-military personnel were particularly hard to locate, we employed surveillance techniques to track their movements discreetly.

Results

Bond Rees successfully located all the ex-military personnel within the agreed timeframe. Through a combination of online research, networking within military circles, field investigations, and surveillance when necessary, the company was able to reunite the client with their former comrades for the long-awaited event.

Conclusion

The case of tracing ex-military personnel for a reunion event showcased Bond Rees’ expertise in investigative techniques and their commitment to delivering results for their clients. By employing a multi-faceted approach that combined technology, human intelligence, and fieldwork, Bond Rees demonstrated their ability to handle complex cases with precision and professionalism.

This case study highlights Bond Rees’ dedication to fulfilling client needs while upholding the highest standards of confidentiality and efficiency in their investigative work.

Tracing Agent Case Study #2: Finding an Old School Crush

Location: Manchester

What we did

Our people tracing agents in Manchester were recently hired by a man trying to trace his secondary school crush in the Greater Manchester area, years after they had parted ways. People grow apart as they get older, and many find themselves wanting to reconnect even years later. However, a change of name or a big move can make contacting people difficult. This was the case in this instance, as the school crush had since changed her name after marriage and our client was unsure how to even begin tracing her.

How we did it

Our tracing agents used a combination of online documentation and social media to locate the person in question. We were able to follow a trail of tagged photos and posts by family and friends to find her new name and use this to find her current contact details. 

Conclusion

Our client was delighted with our work and happy to be able to reconnect with an old friend. As it turns out, she was divorced and single. The rekindling of the relationship was welcomed and we achieved a happy ending in the process.

Tracing Agent Case Study #3: Tracking down the Absconded Commercial Tenant

Location: London

Tracing Case Background

We were contacted by a client who required a trace on a missing debtor after a commercial tenant disappeared whilst 4 months in arrears of the rent, despite driving around in a £140,000 car.

Our client is a landlord overseeing numerous units across South London. One of his retail tenants fell far behind on the rent and refused to pay up, until one day he just disappeared. His belongings were cleared out of the unit and he had changed his phone number without informing our client. 

At time the tenant absconded, he was 4 months in arrears of the rent and owed our client upwards of £18,000, but with no current contact information for him our client was unable to start the legal process to get the money he was owed. 

What we did

We had a kick-off call with our client and gathered every bit of information they had on the missing tennant, including full name, past phone numbers, and his employment history. Although our tracing agents can locate a missing individual with very little information, gathering as much as we can before we begin can make a trace quicker and more cost-effective for the client. 

Using this information, we were able to conduct a full trace on the missing tennant. Within a matter of hours, we were able to track his employment and discovered that he recently moved from one retail branch in South London to another in East London.

A facebook group for employees of this branch allowed us to find his facebook profile, where he had posted about his recent move. Once we had the tenant’s rough location, our agents were able to track him on foot to his current address and confirm his identity. 

The Result

Whilst conducting surveillance, our tracing agents were able to obtain photographic evidence and up-to-date contact information which was then passed along to our client. On his request, we served the absconded tenant with a court summons regarding the overdue debt. 

Everything then fell into place for the client. The missing tenant agreed to appear in court, and was ordered to pay the £18,000 our client was owed, plus expenses. Our client was overjoyed at the result of our trace.

Location: Birmingham

Case Background

We had a client contact our Tracing Agents in Birmingham because a parent had died and they needed to contact their ex-partner to attend the funeral that was just 5 days away. This was an emergency trace situation.

They immediately pulled out all the stops and used their years of experience to sift through social media accounts, public records, and other directories to identify the whereabouts of the ex-partner. They were soon located in Dudley, on the outskirts of Birmingham.

The Result

The client’s ex-partner was located and contacted within 4 1/2 hrs. While it was an upsetting situation for them, they were happy that they were reached in time. We delivered for our client and their ex-partner was able to attend the funeral to pay their respects.
