Skip tracing allows to find fresh contact information for a debtor by running known information through a public or private search engine. The best skip tracing software allows the user to run batch skip tracing and search a high volume of names at once. It is important to note, that typically in most jurisdictions a person must have a legal reason (right) to search for a person using such specialised services. That is why at SkipTraze we only work with creditors, collection agencies and private investigators.

In order to use SkipTraze services you must have the legal right to search (be a creditor, act on behalf one as a collection agency or be a licensed private investigator) and have the social security number of the individual (Poland PESEL, Spain DNI). SkipTraze then searches partner databases for a match with that social security number and can find:

Phone number

Email address

Address (Country, City, Street, House Number, Apartment, Postal code)

You only pay per successful data hit. A hit is defined as a single data point that is additional to your existing data.

So for example if you search for John Doe with a Social Security number and have 1 phone number, 1 email address, 1 physical address – but end up finding – 1 new phone number and 1 new email address. This would be considered as 2 successful hits.

Price differs per country, please contact us to get a quote.

After you have signed our contract and have been verified to have the right to perform skip-trace search, you will have 3 options to access the service:

1. integrate your collection software to our API
2. log in to our SkipTraze platform upload a list of debtors and run search yourself
3. send a list of debtors in a secure way to our Customer Success department to run a search manually

SkipTraze has signed exclusive agreements with sales databases that collect contact information from consumers together with social security numbers.When you ask to search for a consumer these request go to each database and asks if such social security number exists in the database and when was the last time consumer updated their data. This how we determine the freshness of any datapoint.

We comply with EU level and country specific legal requirements in each of the markets we operate. Part our solution is that database providers add an additional consent to process consumers data for skip tracing purposes specifically with SkipTraze.

Please see For Data Partners section.

We currently operate in Spain and Poland. For specific country requests please contact us.

SkipTraze automatically deletes personal data 30 days after issuing invoice for the services.

SkipTraze always makes a fresh request to the sales databases ensuring the highest quality data available from the partner network.

No. SkipTraze can only provide fresh contact information, collection department must still make contact to try to resolve debt obligations.

SkipTraze makes sure additional data processing consent is added by the data administrator (database) and in such cases would forward such debtor to the database in question to resolve any questions and requests directly.
