What are Tracing Agents
If you’ve lost contact with someone and need to reconnect, a professional tracing agent can help!
Tracing agents are professionals who specialise in locating individuals who have moved, are deliberately avoiding contact, or whose current whereabouts are otherwise unknown. In the UK, they are frequently instructed to trace debtors who owe money, track down former tenants who have left properties without notice, locate beneficiaries named in probate cases, reconnect individuals with lost relatives or friends, and support legal proceedings by providing confirmed and up-to-date address information.
To do this effectively, tracing agents combine access to regulated data sources with detailed investigative research and sector expertise, enabling them to accurately identify and verify the most current contact details of the person being traced.
Why use a Tracing Agent?
When accuracy and legal compliance matter, it's best to leave people tracing to the professionals.
Attempting to locate someone without professional tools can be frustrating, time-consuming, and legally risky. Our tracing agents are fully compliant with UK GDPR and other data protection regulations. We ensure that all data is accessed and processed lawfully, ethically, and with full consideration for the privacy of the individual.
Using a professional tracing agent like DebtTrace® means you benefit from access to verified, up-to-date databases, removing the need to rely on outdated or inaccurate public records. Our service is fully compliant with UK data protection laws including GDPR, ensuring ethical tracing practices at every step. We provide a quick, discreet, and efficient process designed to deliver results with minimal disruption or fuss. Our tracing agents will locate most people in a few hours and back up our results with our no find no fee guarantee so there is no risk!
If we are unable to trace the subject, you will receive a full refund automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Our tracing agent search takes just 7 days to locate your debtors current address as shown on Credit Agency Data in most circumstances and a maximum timescale of 30 working days. Reporting turnaround hours are Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm although we are open 24-7
-
If our tracing agents cannot locate a current address or other substantive information we will refund the trace agent search fee paid in full within 7 days, if we source a current address as shown on Credit agency data sets then we will provide this address as shown on Credit agency data sets. See below
-
Our experienced tracing agents recommend that you wait 4 weeks to instruct our tracing agent service, which will give sufficient time to allow Credit agencies to reflect the current address that the debtor has moved to. See below
-
We offer retracing on the following basis
All Premium cases are backed up by a 60 day retrace policy where if you need further confirmation of a supplied address we will supply a confirmation or revalidation free of charge for up to 60 days from the original order date. All other cases will have a retrace fee applied which can be viewed under the retrace option in our online store.
We recommend all debt tracing cases are submitted after 4 weeks of moving date and on that basis 99.9% of debtor tracing cases will show the current not old address of the debtors residence. This is conditional on the debtor being in the U.K. and conducting normal financial behaviour. This behaviour would include but not limited to one of the following situations - paying bills in their name at the new address, informing any creditors of their new address, updating banking or credit providers of their new address directly or indirectly, using a postal redirect service or applying for credit at the new address or being credit active. If your case has supplied an old or disputed address we suggest waiting 4-6 weeks and then instructing a new trace to obtain the current data as shown on major U.K. Credit agencies.

Datasets are only used where permitted by the supplier and UK data / GDPR compliance requirements. For example Credit Agency data is only used for Debt, Financial claim or Asset reunification purposes. We do not offer family or friend tracing or any other people tracing where consent is required from the subject of the trace. Where tracing an individual falls outside of these uses we would seek to trace the subject of the search using other compliant investigative means including permitted datasets. Any mention of Credit agency use on this website or its individual pages does not indicate that it will be used on any service without the correct validation and authorisation that the case passes the data assessment for its use. To underscore, all cases submitted to us are subject to our data impact assessment prior to processing. As such any submitted case would only use data where permissible by UK Law, GDPR, our internal compliance requirements, passing our internal third party impact assessment and third party data supplier requirements.
