Tracers

“Stay away from this company!

Pros

I've noticed they put a lot of effort into presenting themselves as a trustworthy go-to for skip trace information.

Cons

In my experience they've proven to be a scam operated by an incompetent and arrogant individual. I consistently got the lowest success rates on searches compared with other services and I'm certain I'd be better off using many of the other skip tracers out there. They seem to recycle data pulled from other skip tracing companies and then simply slap on a higher price. Based on what I found online, I would avoid this company at all costs. If you Google them you'll see numerous negative reviews and on the BBB there isn't a single positive comment about them.

“My go-to tool

Pros

The massive amount of data really stands out to me. I can't get over the refreshing blue dashboard and how leadership treats and respects their loyal users. I've been with Tracers for nearly eight months now and I'm definitely planning to stick around. Tracers and TLOxp are what I reach for first these days. After sampling all the options I honestly give Tracers two thumbs up. Running an inspection is super simple, the public-records data quality is second to none and overall it's essential for investigators or companies doing due diligence. In short, whether you're a new investigator or someone who's been in the field for years and wants tools that help you separate yourself from amateurs, you should add Tracers to your toolkit. I believe Tracers, TLO and IDI are the top tools a lawyer, investigator or due-diligence professional can have. Another plus is their support team is entirely U.S.-based. If you've been on the fence about signing up, do it and you won't be disappointed. It's so easy to use and it makes my daily work faster and less stressful.

Cons

At first I thought there was something wrong with my account and felt disappointed but management quickly pointed out the issue and fixed it. Aside from that short bump in the road which was handled promptly I have always loved Tracers and continue to rely on it in my work.

“not worth the switch

Pros

What I appreciate most about the tool and the company is it reminds me there's no rival to TransUnion TLO. I regret switching to TRACERS.. absolutely the worst decision !

Cons

I eventually realized it's just another provider offering the same data everyone else has only presented differently. It absolutely wasn't worth leaving what I already knew and trusted. Tracers involves too many people entering data who don't communicate in sync properly.
