Discreet Financial Status Reports

If your debtor is being hostile and uncooperative, we can undertake enquiries and deliver a discreet financial status report. This will help you, as a creditor, plan your next steps for recovering the monies you are owed. When conducting enquiries as to the financial status of a person it is imperative to partner with a professional company that understands the law and can collect information in a manner that is defensible if challenged in court.

How is discreet financial status reporting conducted?


To deliver our financial status reports we can conduct discreet in-depth asset/financial searches on individuals and companies:

Individuals:

Our aim in these discreet enquiries is to ascertain an individual’s financial situation and locate assets. Our report will aim to confirm personal details including name, date of birth, current address, telephone number and email address. We will conduct extensive enquiries in order to locate properties/addresses associated with the subject and then look to obtain land registry confirmation of any property ownership and its current estimated value.. Our directorship search will search for any company appointments, shareholder information, financial details, charges/mortgage register check. We will also conduct a search of any history of any adverse credit registered against the individual. Our enquiries will attempt to establish employment details and include deep internet and media searches. All of which will build a picture of the individual’s current financial position. Our team regularly finds properties that have not previously been declared or discover the debtor is a director/shareholder in several different companies and has resources available to pay their debts.

Companies:

With this type of enquiry, we will perform a full asset search on the company and obtain their accounts. We will provide you with their Net Worth, shareholders’ details, charges registered and any adverse credit amongst the other usual information such as Director names, reg office address etc.. Our report on the company’s finances will only be up to the last date of the accounts submitted and will show you the facts. If the company is only newly incorporated and we are unable to obtain a lot of information, then our fee will be reduced accordingly. We can also perform a field visit if required to establish whether the company is trading or to obtain a picture of what is at the address including and site of assets.

Our team can also undertake mortality tracing, beneficiary tracing, asset tracing, debt tracing, and overseas tracing. We understand that you may have strict regulatory or business deadlines to meet, therefore, you can be confident that our team will resolutely stick to your timescale and budget.

Although our team is regularly involved in large-volume discreet financial status reporting projects, we are routinely instructed to make enquiries on a particular individual or a small number of people. Regardless of the size of your project, you will receive scrupulous, personal, and dedicated service.

Case Study

We were contacted by a client who was owed more than £50,000.

The debtor was not cooperative and was claiming that he had no income or assets and would not offer any repayment. Our client felt that this information did not fit in with the subject’s lifestyle and so requested a discreet financial status report. We carried out enquiries regarding addresses and found properties associated with the subject and discovered a holiday cottage, which was listed in his name with the land registry, which he had not declared. We established that it was being advertised through Owners Direct and we could clearly see the bookings and rates confirming another source of income. We then reported back to our client who utilised the new information when deciding how to pursue the debtor.
