Getting The BEST RESULT From ‘Person Location’ Services

Whether it be a loved one you’ve lost touch with or someone needing traced because of debt, inheritance or business obligations, no matter the situation Surmount Investigations can provide an extensive and thorough search and tracking investigation service.

If you’re in discussions with an investigator to engage them on a ‘missing person’ case and they’re talking hourly rates, daily expenses, updates as to when the end in sight could be, etc. then walk away. It doesn’t and shouldn’t be like that – not anymore and not in this digital age.

Investigators wearing out the soles of their shoes and bouncing from city to city should not be considered the required means no more than using just an electronic tracing service on its own should be.

A medium exists between these two methods and that is the medium that Surmount Investigation most strongly favours – It is not only the most effective in terms of results but it is also the most effective in terms of cost.

We recently had a consultation with a solicitor regarding the tracing of a bad debtor. They didn’t see the worth in paying for a physical trace-and-confirm when a report “for a couple of quid” would “do the job just the same”, apparently. The problem lies first and foremost in the fact that it isn’t the “same”. The report the solicitor paid for was not fully up to date, they went ‘in house’ to formally serve based off an out-of-date report and a ‘bad’ service of legal documents was carried out… on the wrong person!

The solicitor ended up back at square one. Their client was decidedly unhappy with the empty costs accrued. And the ‘target’ moved on.

Where possible we always encourage a client to not just rely on the results of an electronic trace at face value and have the accuracy of the information contained within physically tested by a professional before trying to act on the intelligence itself.

Surmount Investigations can also deliver a thorough personal location service in relation to matters involving debt tracing, long lost family members, process serving and other such services.
