Introduction to Legal Tracing.

In the world of debt recovery and legal enforcement, every successful outcome begins with one crucial element, locating the correct individual.
Without a verified address, judgments cannot be enforced, statutory demands may be invalid, and recovery efforts can quickly collapse into wasted time and costs.

At DebtTrace®, we specialise in Legal and Enforcement Tracing Services that enable solicitors, enforcement agents, creditors, and insolvency professionals to proceed confidently with verified, GDPR-compliant address intelligence.

Our investigators use regulated credit reference data, electoral roll verification, financial associations, and manual investigative checks to confirm a subject’s current residential address. Every case is handled lawfully under a legitimate interest basis and supported by a full audit trail suitable for legal, enforcement, or insolvency use.

All services are backed by our No Trace, No Fee guarantee, ensuring cost-effective results with zero risk to our clients.

👍 Simple, Low Prices

Let's Start

No extra costs, no contracts.

Enforcement Tracing.

When a County Court Judgment (CCJ) or High Court Writ has been obtained, the next challenge is often locating the debtor to proceed with enforcement. Many debtors move, change address, or deliberately evade contact, leaving enforcement officers without a viable address to act upon.

Our Enforcement Tracing Service identifies and confirms the debtor’s current residential location before you commit to enforcement costs. We cross-reference credit agency data, financial linkages, and verified address indicators to deliver reliable, evidentially sound results.

Typical uses include:

  • Confirming debtor residency before instructing enforcement officers or HCEOs

  • Supporting lawful enforcement under CPR Part 6

  • Providing updated addresses for service of writs, warrants, or possession orders

Each report is independently reviewed by our investigators, providing confidence that the information is suitable for enforcement proceedings or affidavit evidence.

Statutory Demand & Insolvency Tracing.

Before serving a statutory demand or initiating bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings, confirming the debtor’s address is essential for lawful service under the Insolvency Rules. Incorrect or outdated address information can invalidate service and delay recovery.

DebtTrace® provides specialist Statutory Demand & Insolvency Tracing designed for:

  • Insolvency practitioners seeking to trace debtors, directors, or guarantors

  • Solicitors serving statutory demands or bankruptcy petitions

  • Creditors preparing insolvency actions against individuals or companies

Our tracing process combines regulated data sources (Experian, Equifax, Registry Trust, Companies House) with manual verification to confirm current addresses and financial linkages.

Each trace report is compliant with GDPR, supplied with a full audit trail, and suitable for legal exhibits or affidavit evidence.

👉 Confirm a debtor’s address before serving a statutory demand — fast, accurate, and compliant.
