It's tracking down financial deadbeats who walk (skip) out on their debts when the person to whom they owe the money still wants to collect.

Not right Captain, I'm in the industry and can give you the definitive answer. A skip is a debtor, absconded tenant or anyone wanted to serve process to, such as court orders. Most usually there is a debt involved, and skip tracing is the process of locating and confirming that location so legal process can be served, allowing the creditor to get the skip to court. Sometimes skip tracers are PI's, usually they are associated with merchantile or commercial agents, or debt collectors.

It is usually a technique employed in Credit collection where by the collector contacts any and all references listed on the credit application to find the party to obtain payment. It can also be used to follow a family tree by talking to older family members and friends to get stories and marriage information that may not have been recorded. Good luck!
