Employment Tracing

If you are a creditor and require an Attachment of Earnings Order or require confirmation that a debtor is receiving an income, our specialist employment tracing team can find the subject and obtain the necessary documentation. In most cases, we can turn your instruction around within 3-28 days.

Obtaining an Attachment of Earnings Order is one of the most effective ways to get a debtor to engage with you and start making payments towards their debt. It also provides you, as a creditor, the information you need to plan your next steps in terms of successful debt recovery.

Our in-house specialist tracing agents use databases and open-source intelligence (OSINT) to establish the subject’s employment status. We can attempt to discover:

  • The debtor’s employers name, address, and telephone number,
  • Their position.
  • Whether they are self-employed and if so, their trading details, website, and phone number.
  • If the debtor is unemployed or retired.


Our team can also undertake mortality tracing, beneficiary tracing, asset tracing, and overseas tracing. We understand that you may have strict regulatory or business deadlines to meet, therefore, you can be confident that our team will resolutely stick to your timescale and budget. Although our team is regularly involved in large volume employment tracing projects, we are routinely instructed to trace an individual or a small number of people. Regardless of the number of individuals you need to find, you will receive scrupulous, personal, and dedicated service.
