Locate debtors fast with the most recent and accurate data available

Recent and reliable data

While many data resellers update their files once a month, Experian's skip tracing data is updated 24-7, so you can avoid inaccurate, outdated information. More than 1.3 billion updates are made per month, including new phone numbers, new addresses, new employment, payment history, and more.

Multiple phone databases to give you more accurate phone numbers

Phone numbers are pulled from multiple sources: credit files, white pages, regional Bell operating companies, local exchange carrier listings and additional proprietary phone sources. Best phone number and up to two additional unique numbers are provided per account, including nonpublished, employer, home and cell phone numbers.

Exclusive, proprietary data

Get access to Experian’s proprietary data based on credit profiles for more than 245 million credit-active consumers in the United States. Credit data for each consumer is consolidated into one file, eliminating multiple or partial files.

Broad data sources

Tap into a wide variety of additional data sources, including public records, real estate records, Electronic Directory Assistance listings, national change of address records, and Experian’s business credit data.

Social Security search

Track down consumers when all other identifying information is outdated or incomplete — even when people have changed their names or moved without leaving a forwarding address. Validate consumer Social Security numbers against Experian’s data.

Flexible and easy to use

Access and submit data through our convenient Web portal (or via batch submission file transfer). Standard input/output files are available, allowing for flexible file formatting depending on your file type needs. Unique search capabilities allow you to streamline your debt recovery efforts.

Collection agencies around the country depend on Experian for their skip tracing needs. Here's what some of them have to say...

"The Collections Advantage tool that we’ve implemented has allowed us to go from more of a 'dialing for dollars' kind of recovery effort to a more targeted, queuing workflow pipeline, so it’s a much more efficient process."
Mike London, Manager
Delta Community Credit Union

"Not only were we getting more hits, but the percentage of the hits being the correct phone numbers was significantly greater."
Steve Kusic, CEO
National Recovery Agency
