⌛  No waiting with Us!

At Find UK People®, we utilise trusted credit agency data sources such as Experian and Equifax to help identify an individual’s most recent address. It’s important to note that updates to this data typically depend on a variety of factors – including bill payments, credit applications, and each agency’s refresh cycles – and can take 30 to 45 days to reflect a person’s movement from one property to another.

However, our tracing systems are connected to data sources that refresh on a rolling basis, meaning that in many cases, we can identify a subject’s updated address much faster than you’d expect.

If we’re unable to locate the individual on the first attempt, we offer a full refund under our “No Find, No Fee” guarantee. You can then simply wait 4 weeks and instruct another trace – by which time the credit data will likely have updated to reflect the new address.

Proactive, professional, and always transparent.

🐢  It’s just too slow!

Our tracing service is transactional and we do not offer Credit or invoice terms – it’s just too slow!

✅   Select the correct basis!

1. Debt Tracing Basis

Legitimate Basis: If you are a creditor attempting to trace a debtor who owes you money, you have a legitimate interest in doing so. Your legitimate basis is the pursuit of a debt owed to you.

Requirements:
– You must have a valid debt owed to you by the individual you are tracing.
– You should have attempted to contact the debtor using the contact details they provided initially.
– Ensure that your tracing efforts are proportional and not excessive in relation to the debt owed.

• Consent is not required*

 

2. Court Claim Tracing Basis:

Legitimate Basis: If you are a party to a legal dispute and need to trace a defendant or witness for legal proceedings, your legitimate basis is the pursuit of justice and a fair trial.

Requirements:
– You should be a party to a legitimate legal dispute or case filed with a court.
– The tracing activity should be directly related to the legal proceedings and necessary for the case.
– Ensure that you comply with court rules and procedures regarding tracing and notification.

• Consent is not required*

 

3. Beneficiary Tracing Basis:

Legitimate Basis: If you are an executor of an estate or a trustee of a trust and need to trace beneficiaries or heirs, your legitimate basis is fulfilling your fiduciary duties.

Requirements:
– You must be legally appointed as an executor or trustee.
– The tracing activity should be necessary to distribute assets or fulfill the terms of the estate or trust.
– Ensure that you comply with relevant trust or estate laws and regulations.

• Consent is not required*

 

4. Family or Friend Reunion Tracing Basis:

Legitimate Basis: If you are tracing family members for personal reasons, such as reuniting with long-lost relatives, your legitimate basis is based on personal or humanitarian grounds.

Requirements:
– Your tracing efforts should not involve any commercial or financial gain.

– Your trace cannot be adoption related, Find UK People does not provide adoption-related tracing services, including tracing adopted individuals or biological relatives in adoption cases. If your search relates to adoption, please do not use our services, as we are unable to assist.

Under UK law, organisations offering tracing services for adopted adults seeking birth parents must be registered with Ofsted as an adoption support agency. As this is not an area we cover, we are not registered for this purpose and cannot undertake any adoption-related tracing.

Our family tracing services are strictly limited to non-adoption-related cases, such as reconnecting with long-lost relatives where no adoption records are involved. If you require assistance with an adoption-related search, we recommend contacting a registered adoption support agency or the General Register Office (GRO) for guidance.

– Respect the privacy and consent of the individuals you are trying to trace, and be prepared for varying responses, including potential non-cooperation or no contact.

• Consent is required*

*Subject to acceptance and acceptable valid basis for the search. All cases are subject to our full terms of service.

 

✉️  CONSENT REQUIRED

All family, ex-partner, or long-lost friend tracing services provided by Find UK People are subject to the requirement of a consent letter. This letter must include the contact details of the person conducting the tracing process and is to be sent to the party being traced. Under no circumstances shall any address information be disclosed to any party, whether it be you or our client. This strict policy is implemented to safeguard privacy and uphold maximum compliance standards. We adhere unwaveringly to this protocol for all family, friend, or ex-partner tracing cases, believing it to be essential for the safety and security of all involved parties.

In order to obtain consent for tracing, a letter is dispatched to the family member or friend being traced. This letter includes the instructor’s details, comprising their name, email address, and telephone number. This standard tracing consent request letter is exclusively addressed to the subject of the trace, affording them sole discretion regarding whether to initiate contact with the instructor.

It is important to note that we employ a single standardized letter, which cannot be modified or customized with bespoke messaging. This approach is adopted to maintain compliance with GDPR regulations. Once the letter has been sent to the subject, the case is promptly closed by our team.

 

🔑  Legitimate Interest

In all instances, it is imperative to establish a sound legal foundation or a legitimate interest for the people tracing activities for which you are engaging our services. Furthermore, strict adherence to data protection regulations, notably the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR, is of paramount importance. This entails securing explicit consent when deemed necessary, ensuring the accuracy of data, and upholding data security throughout the entirety of the tracing process. Failure to observe these requirements could potentially result in breaches of data protection statutes and subsequent legal repercussions.

Please be aware that the information provided here may not reflect the prevailing legislation in your specific jurisdiction or, indeed, within the United Kingdom. Consequently, we strongly recommend that you seek counsel from qualified legal professionals concerning your unique circumstances before enlisting our services. Should any uncertainty persist regarding the legitimacy of your people tracing endeavor, it is advisable to seek legal guidance and instruct your designated solicitor to directly engage our services.

⚠️  If you do not have a genuine legitimate interest – DO NOT USE!

⚖️  It’s a legal requirement

Selecting the correct legal basis and providing a truthful statement of purpose is not only essential for GDPR compliance—it is a legal obligation. When instructing a trace with Find UK People, you must confirm your reason for the search and provide a signed declaration (Statement of Truth) confirming that the information submitted is accurate and lawful. This ensures we process data under a valid legal ground, such as “legitimate interest” under Article 6 of the UK GDPR.

Misrepresentation—knowingly or unknowingly providing false or misleading information—can lead to serious consequences. These include data protection breaches, legal action from the data subject, invalidation of the trace for legal use, and the permanent suspension of access to our services. In some cases, clients may also face legal and financial liability.

To uphold high compliance standards, we retain a complete audit trail of all trace instructions, including declared legal bases and submitted statements, and may conduct internal reviews where required.

Important Notice:
Find UK People® has a strict zero-tolerance policy on misrepresentation. If you intend to misrepresent your basis for instructing a trace, do not use our services. Where misuse is suspected or confirmed, we will fully support any formal investigation by providing order records, statements of truth, and audit logs to the appropriate authorities or affected individuals. We are committed to full transparency and legal accountability in every case.

✅  Peace of mind!

All people tracing services are no trace no fee and take a maximum of 30 days to complete. All other tracing services are fee per case. Furthermore, our address trace services adhere to a no trace no fee policy, assuring that there will be no charges if the trace does not yield a result.

However, please note that once a report has been generated and delivered, it is considered final and cannot be refunded for all cases including address tracing reports. This guarantees the comprehensiveness and finality of our services.

💨  7 days fast!

Normally most people tracing cases are returned via email within 7 days with a full trace report which will include the current address of the subject. The maximum time for a people trace to be completed is 30 working days.

Where a trace takes over 7 days it just means we are having to use more forensic in depth people tracing techniques to locate the subject. In these circumstances utilising just data sources, such as credit agency data, is not sufficient in your people trace case.

🌍  We operate Worldwide!

Yes we trace people worldwide with our international address trace

It will locate anyone internationally on a no trace no fee basis but due to its search complexity it will costs more. All international trace services are backed up by a no trace no fee guarantee.

🕵️  Private investigators but different!

UK tracing agents are individuals or organisations that specialise in locating hard-to-find people. They use techniques like searching Credit Agency data, specialist tracing datasets, public records, social media, contacting associates, and collaborating with other tracing agencies or private investigators to trace individuals.

They must comply with legal and ethical guidelines, such as the GDPR, to respect privacy rights during the process.

Find UK People is a respected UK tracing agent known for their experience, legal compliance, reliability, confidentiality, positive feedback, and comprehensive range of people tracing services.

💻  Online research experts!

Tracing agents merge online research, credit agency data, and behavioural insights to locate individuals. They efficiently sift through public and private databases, including social media and registries, collecting key ‘data points’ to form a comprehensive profile.

Crucially, they leverage data from credit reference agencies (CRAs) – Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. These agencies accumulate extensive data about individuals’ credit histories, including their associated addresses, providing invaluable leads.

When an individual applies for credit, lenders send their details to a CRA. The CRA responds with the person’s credit history, including past and current addresses, establishing an address chain. Tracing agents or a private investigator, with proper authorisation, can access this data to trace an individual’s movements and potentially identify their current address.

However, determining the current address isn’t always easy, as data might reveal multiple recent addresses or no recent credit application. In such instances, tracing agents use their expertise to interpret the information, looking for patterns based on address recency and frequency.

The use of CRA data by tracing agents is regulated by UK data protection laws, ensuring responsible handling of personal information. It’s worth noting that while CRAs offer valuable data, not all individuals will have a substantial credit history. Hence, any address obtained from a CRA link must be substantially verified to validate the address and its residency by the subject of the trace.

💸  Only if we can’t locate someone!

We will only refund a case prior to supply (or consent request stage in family or friend tracing cases) of our report if we cannot confidently supply the requested information. Once a report is supplied, it is non refundable and supplied as a full and final.

IMPORTANT

1. All services and cases by Find UK People (‘The Company’) are provided based on available third party data, with no refund or financial guarantee, expressed or implied.
2. The Company may retrace an address tracing case at its sole discretion, but does not warrant absolute correctness.
3. Potential rechecks of cases are at the Company’s discretion with no guarantees of refund, irrespective of the report’s contents or disputes raised.
4. By using our services, you agree to these terms, waiving claims for refunds or financial reparations.

These terms are subject to UK laws and jurisdiction and also subject to our full terms of service.

🕵️‍♀️  To find the elusive!

People enlist the services of tracing agents in the UK primarily to find individuals who have become difficult to locate, but their abilities extend beyond just person-finding. Tracing agents have the expertise to locate assets, both tangible and intangible. Tangible assets can include physical properties and occasionally vehicles, while intangible assets often refer to financial holdings such as investments. These skills are especially valuable when trying to recover debts or in divorce cases where a spouse is suspected of concealing assets.

Various circumstances might warrant the need for a tracing agent’s services. These range from enforcing a legal judgment, recouping a debt, to reconnecting with estranged family members. In any of these situations, it’s imperative to ensure the tracing agent hired is reliable and operates within the confines of UK privacy laws.

The cost associated with hiring a tracing agent can fluctuate widely, influenced by factors such as the intricacy of the case, the amount of work required, and the standing of the individual agent or agency. Payment structures differ among agents – some operate on a ‘no success, no fee’ policy, whereas others might charge a fixed fee or an hourly rate.

Tracing agents in the UK are seasoned investigators who play a crucial role in tracing elusive individuals and assets. They navigate through the labyrinth of stringent privacy laws and the intricacies inherent in their work, yet their skills remain in high demand due to their unique ability to solve complex problems and uncover hidden information in diverse circumstances.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑  It reconnects people!

A people tracing service in the UK refers to a specialised service or company that helps locate individuals who are difficult to find. These tracing services are often utilised by various entities, including legal firms, debt collection agencies, and individuals looking to reconnect with lost contacts.

People tracing services employ a range of techniques and access various databases to gather information about the person being traced. This can include searching Credit agency data via address links, specialist tracing software, public records, electoral rolls, social media platforms, and other online sources.

The primary goal of a people tracing service is to provide accurate and up-to-date residential address information about the whereabouts of the individual being traced. It is important to note that these services must adhere to legal and ethical guidelines, including GDPR & data protection regulations, to ensure privacy rights are respected during the tracing process.

Find UK People has earned a well-deserved reputation as a respected tracing agent in the UK. Their extensive experience, strict adherence to legal regulations, consistent reliability, commitment to confidentiality, positive customer feedback, and diverse range of tracing services have established them as a trusted and reputable choice for locating individuals.

👪   The Family reconnection experts!

Yes you can but the process is slightly different for everyones protection.

The following process only applies to family, friend or ex partner tracing.

As Find UK People, a leading people tracing agency in the UK, we take data protection and privacy very seriously. It’s essential for us to adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which provides individuals with significant control over their personal data. This section outlines the reasoning behind our need to obtain consent when carrying out a family or friend trace – this does not apply to other trace types.

In accordance with the GDPR, we can only process personal data when it’s legally permissible to do so, and there are stringent conditions that we must meet. One of these conditions is the individual’s explicit consent. We require consent in instances of family or friend tracing to ensure that we respect and protect the rights and freedoms of the individual being traced.

It’s crucial to note that even though you may be looking for a friend or family member with good intentions, we cannot assume this on behalf of the person being traced. Everyone has a right to privacy and this includes the right to decide who they want to be in contact with. Therefore, to ensure we respect these rights, we must obtain explicit consent from the individual being traced before releasing their personal information.

This policy not only safeguards the individual’s privacy rights but also helps us maintain our commitment to ethical data handling practices and compliance with GDPR regulations. If we were to process personal data without obtaining proper consent, it would result in a breach of the GDPR, leading to potential fines and reputational damage.

We understand that this requirement may cause frustration for those seeking to reconnect with loved ones. However, our primary responsibility is to ensure that we operate within the legal boundaries set by GDPR and respect the rights of all individuals involved in our tracing processes.

Remember, trust and integrity are paramount to us at Find UK People. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with our privacy policy. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
