Skip Tracer
A person or tool that locates people by finding their current contact information.
Definition
A skip tracer is someone who locates people, historically a specialist working for collectors, bail bondsmen, or law firms, and today often a software tool that appends contact data to a list. The name comes from a debtor who has 'skipped' town. Skip tracing for hire is regulated investigative work in most states and can require a private investigator license; running your own lists usually doesn't.
