Finding a missing person — whether a debtor, a beneficiary, or someone who has simply moved on without leaving a forwarding address — can feel like an impossible task. At ERI Recoveries Limited, we make it straightforward.

With over 30 years of professional investigation experience, our principal investigator uses the UK’s most advanced database resources and, where necessary, conducts on-the-ground enquiries and property visits to locate individuals quickly, discreetly, and in full compliance with UK data protection law.

Whether you are a solicitor tracing a missing will beneficiary, an insolvency practitioner locating a debtor, or a business chasing an absconded tenant, we are here to help.

Who We Help & How the Process Works

Our people tracing service is used by a wide range of clients across the UK, including solicitors, insolvency practitioners, housing associations, and private individuals. The two most common scenarios we handle are:

Missing Will Beneficiaries — If you are administering an estate and a beneficiary cannot be located, we can conduct a thorough search to find them and confirm their current address, enabling the estate to be properly distributed.

Debtors & Absconded Individuals — If you are owed money and the person has moved without trace, we can locate their current address so that legal action, process serving, or direct contact can proceed.

Most of our tracing work is completed efficiently using specialist database tools. However, where a deeper search is required, we also carry out enquiry agent visits and direct property checks to confirm occupancy.

Everything You Need to Know

Our tracing service is used by solicitors tracing missing will beneficiaries, insolvency practitioners and creditors seeking to locate debtors, housing associations tracking absconded tenants, and businesses or individuals needing to locate someone for legal or personal reasons. We work with both professional clients and private individuals throughout the UK.
The majority of our tracing work is carried out using specialist UK tracing databases and online intelligence resources. Where database searches do not produce a conclusive result, we also conduct enquiry agent visits and physical checks at known or last-known addresses to confirm current occupancy or obtain further leads.
Yes, absolutely. All tracing activity is conducted in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the professional standards of the Association of British Investigators (ABI). We only use legitimate, lawful methods to locate individuals.
Timescales vary depending on the complexity of the case and the information you can provide at the outset. Many database traces are completed within a matter of days. Cases requiring field enquiries or property visits may take a little longer. We will always provide a realistic timeframe during your initial consultation.
Simply contact us by phone or email to arrange a confidential, no-obligation consultation. Our principal investigator will review the details of your case and advise on the most effective and cost-efficient approach to locating the individual.
