When utilizing a Private Investigator (P.I.) to supplement your debt recovery efforts, timing is the key. It should not be only used as a last minute effort, Private Investigators are to be used to gather info to strengthen your case. It pays to use a P.I. that has experience in debt recovery and asset liability investigations.
On-site Investigations
When a P.I. goes out to visit a business, their main objective is to gather information to strengthen your debt recovery, not to harass the debtor company or staff. They can interview employees, take pictures of applicable assets and gather as much info as they can prior to being asked to leave. The gathered information can help reinforce your case and also usually results in a call back to the debt recovery agency from the debtor to revisit the case.
A private investigator can also be helpful for different investigative services. These include assisting with skip tracing, asset searches, asset liability investigations, business investigations and collections services. In general, a P.I. is a great tool to keep in your toolbox when you require extra strength and need to dedicate the due diligence to be successful with those difficult debt recovery cases.
