Tracking down a debtor

[S6PNJ]

An ex-tenant of mine has left me with a tenancy related debt. The courts found in my favour and I have issued a bailiffs warrant of execution. Sadly the bailiff cannot gain access to the last forwarding address I have and I fear the individual may have since left that address. From his occupation of my property I also have a number of other debt collection letters from various agencies so I hold extra information regarding him (Date of birth, NI number etc).

How can I best go about trying to track him down? I have contacted his previous employer and they state he left their employment roughly 6 months ago and may possibly have gone overseas. Unless I can give the bailiff more information, they are unable to proceed any further and I'd prefer not to have to write off my debt (but may have to) similarly there's no point throwing good money after bad if it is going to cost a lost to track him down.

Any ideas please?

Hi,

I can understand your frustration. The best person is to contact PH'er in here - James28uk. PM him and he can point you to the right direction.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks SG, tracked him down - he's Jamesuk28 not James28uk - just in case anyone else is trying to find him.

I've got one final line of enquiry running at the moment with another letting agency so I'll see how that pans out tomorrow and then get in touch with James.

My ears were burning. For tracing we recommend global investigations http://www.tracing.co.uk tell them Gemini sent you. Once you have your debtor traced feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding debt collection.

You must have heard the potential pennies jangling! Thanks for the link James, much appreciated. I'll use them as my first point of call (after my enquiry I'll hopefully have answered tomorrow) and see how I get on.
