Someone once said that they could trace anybody in the UK.
Would that person kindly send me a PM?

Thanks.

Don't worry Starrman, I'm not coming after you... (yet)

Thank heavens, I don't take kindly to calls at 2 in the morning with a stoned/drunk, Scotsman telling me he loves me on the line...

www.192.com is a good place to start. Although if the person is ex-directory, you would have to rely on the electoral roll (which you have to pay for).

You don't have to pay for access to the electoral roll information unless you want it in bulk.

Yup, I also used to be a debt collector, had to trace the runners-away and give them their summonses. The electoral roll was a starting point, but the company I worked for also had a (ssshhhh...) link inside the Department of Social Security, so if the person was working or signing on, we could usually find their listed address. Another source was Experian; they compile a huge financial history database, and you'd be surprised what king of stuff they've got on people. Ifanyone applies for any kind of credit, or even to upgrade their bank account or arrange an overdraft, Experian get a copy of the application form and put it in your file...

However, lots of people know what to avoid doing if someone is looking for them.

Shav, is the "someone" deliberately trying to avoid people who might be looking for them? In which case, even a professional might not be able to find them easily. If they've left the country (UK), the only way to find them could be to walk the planet asking wherever you go, "Have you seen X?" If, on the other hand, they're not doing a bunk, and if you can afford to pay someone, (and even then they might not be able to find whoever anyway,) at least you'll save your own time because at least they'll be able to tell you withing a couple of hours "Yup, found them," or "No, this one will be difficult to find. You got any more money...?"

EDIT: It's not that Robbie Howett you're looking for, is it?

Yuo could make a lot of money selling these debt collector avoidance techniques.
