A residential landlord instructed an address tracing investigation after a former tenant vacated the property leaving outstanding rent arrears and no forwarding address. The objective was to establish the individual’s current residential address to support lawful debt recovery and future legal correspondence.
The investigation involved the analysis of lawfully accessible records, publicly available information, and intelligence sources to verify the subject’s identity and identify their most recent confirmed address. Multiple data points were cross-referenced to eliminate false matches and ensure the information was accurate and up to date.
Following the investigation, a verified current address was identified with a high degree of confidence and supported by corroborating evidence. A detailed trace report was provided to the client, outlining the methodology, confidence level, and supporting findings suitable for use in progressing lawful recovery action.
The landlord was able to continue the appropriate legal process using the verified address, avoiding unnecessary delays and additional costs associated with unsuccessful service attempts. The investigation was conducted in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and professional standards, ensuring the information was obtained and reported lawfully and responsibly.
