📍 Can't collect from a debtor you can't find?

If a customer owes your business money and has suddenly vanished, your debt collection process doesn't have to stop. You just need the right tools to find them.

A confirmed, verified address is the vital first step to successful debt recovery or proceeding with necessary legal enforcement.

The Waters & Gate tracing team specialises in reconnecting businesses with "gone-away" customers by delivering high-quality, verified data.

What we can offer:

✅ Standard Tracing: Independent verification of a debtor's current residency, Contact information, who they live with, social media, D.O.B, Allais.

✅ Employment Tracing: Confirming their current employment status, employer details, job title, how long have they worked there, what hours they work (essential for Attachment of Earnings).

✅ Combined Trace: All of the above.

Standard database searches can only take you so far. Our team combines advanced systems with real human verification to ensure you are always engaging with the right person at the correct address.

And with our No Trace, No Fee policy, your business takes on zero risk.
