National Service Bureau

In relation to debt collection, skip tracing is a way of “tracing” (finding) a debtor who has “skipped” (left) town in an effort to get out of a debt that is owed. Now you know what we mean when we say it has been around for a while - people have been running away from debts since before sliced bread!
