Collections Process
Skip Tracing
Skip tracing is the process of locating a debtor who cannot be reached at their last known address or phone number. Collectors use public records, credit header data, utility and postal data, and proprietary databases to find current contact and asset information so a debt can be pursued.
What Skip Tracing means for creditors
Uncollectable often just means unreachable. MSB's skip-tracing tools re-establish right-party contact on accounts other agencies return as undeliverable, directly lifting recovery on aged portfolios.
Midwest Service Bureau has recovered commercial, medical, utility, and government debt for creditors nationwide since 1970 — on a no-recovery, no-fee basis. Questions about skip tracing or a portfolio you'd like reviewed? Call (800) 362-0272.
