In addition to "people searches", (our primary interest), we can provide business intelligence inquiries, asset searches, background checks, select state DMV information, various public and proprietary records, and we have global resources at your disposal. At this time we do not have a price list for business and other intelligence type information. If you require any of these searches however, please submit a search form  Submit Search*for an evaluation and quote. Our people search prices have and always will be on a case by case basis depending on the criteria and leval of difficulty.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU, AND HOW WE DIFFER

In this computer age we live in, there are many searches that are either "hit or miss". Additionally, sometimes a search will return information that is no longer current, but is the most up to date info available. Many services will quit on you at this juncture. While a "guarentee" in most cases is not possible, often further inquires will locate the subject or information you initially requested. We provide you with support (standard on all searches) and additional follow-up work if you request this. Note: Additional fees or searches may apply for a comprehensive and ongoing inquiry.

It has been said that the majorty of people do not like their jobs, considering them more or less "thankless", and that includes some people in this field. That may or may not be true for others, but we like what we do, have been thanked many times for what we do and look forward to the next challenge of finding that important person in your life.

WHAT WE DO, AND WHAT WE DON'T DO

We locate people who are either missing by circumstance or by their own design (hence the term "skip").When we find someone we've been hired and paid to find, our job is finished. The rest is up to you. We will give you advice on how to handle a particular situation if asked. Along the path of an inquiry we ocassionally encounter a hostile subject that never wanted to be located to begin with, (as example: a birth mother who gave a child up for adoption, does not wish to seek the child she relinguished, and is very angry at having been "made"). When this happens, we will advise you of the situation, provide "proof" if we can that we have found your subject, but cease and decist from the case at that juncture. We do not conduct surveilence, and do not conduct pre-employment interviews. We can provide the necessary background information for others to do that if requested. We typically do not do Genealogy searches beyond what is involved in an adoption birth parent/adoptee inquiry. We do not search for children who have been abducted or runaways, and will not do business with anyone under the age of 18.

The Barriers To Obtaining Information

Obtaining information on individuals always entails problems. Federal agencies and state legislatures enact laws and regulations protecting the privacy of individuals on an ever-expanding basis.

Apart from Federal laws and regulations, however, there is little consistency from state to state.

The regulation governing consumer credit reports is the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This is a Federal law and is, therefore, enforced uniformly throughout the US, its territories and possessions. This means that consumer credit reports are available on the same basis in every state, but we will not provide consumer credit reports as part of any background inquiry even with the subject's writtten authorization, (their are other services who specialize in this)- and if you do not already have your subjects SS#, will not provide it to you.

All consistency ends there! Other types of information - motor vehicle and court records, for example - might be readily available in some States and not available at all, or difficult to obtain, in others.

Therefore, we can't always provide you with the information that you want, or in rare cases will not, for the security of others who may be involved.
