Friend Tracing
At FindPI, we specialise in providing professional friend tracing services, designed to help you reconnect with old friends, lost acquaintances, or long-lost companions both in the UK and globally. Whether you're searching for a childhood friend, an old schoolmate, or someone you lost touch with over the years, our expert investigators are here to assist in locating them accurately and efficiently.
How Our Friend Tracing Service Works
Our friend tracing service employs a meticulous and compassionate approach to locate individuals while ensuring that all searches are conducted respectfully. Using a combination of advanced tracing techniques, credit agency data, and public records, we ensure that the person we find is the correct individual at their current address. Each case is carefully reviewed by our skilled investigators, who confirm the accuracy of every detail before finalising the results.
Consent and Privacy Protocols
We understand the importance of privacy and consent when reconnecting with friends. Therefore, once we successfully trace the individual, we reach out to them on your behalf to obtain their consent to reconnect. This is done via a formal letter, which ensures their privacy and gives them the choice to re-establish contact with you. It is important to note that, due to the nature of this service, the case is non-refundable once the friend is traced, regardless of whether or not they provide consent for reconnection. This policy ensures that we can dedicate the time and resources necessary to locate the person, even if they ultimately choose not to re-engage.
Here’s how our friend tracing service works:
Client Inquiry: You provide us with the details of the friend or acquaintance you're seeking, and we assign the case to one of our experienced investigators. We begin the search process immediately based on the information you provide.
Data and Record Collection: We gather data from a variety of sources, including credit agency data, public records, and other databases, to locate the individual and confirm their current address.
Manual Review: Each case undergoes a thorough manual review by our expert investigators. We verify that the person located is the correct individual and ensure the findings are accurate.
Consent Process: Once we have located the individual, we contact them on your behalf to obtain their consent to reconnect with you. This is done through a formal letter, respecting their privacy and choice.
Reporting: After the individual has been traced and their consent outcome is confirmed, we provide you with a report detailing the results of the search. This includes their most up-to-date address (if consent granted) and their response regarding reconnection.
Friend Tracing Service Pricing
We offer two service tiers to accommodate the complexity of your friend tracing needs:
Basic Tracing Service – £99 + VAT: Our basic tracing service is suitable for straightforward cases where you have sufficient information, and the individual's location is relatively stable. This service includes locating the person and sending the formal consent request letter.
Advanced Tracing Service – £199 + VAT: For more complex cases where the individual may be harder to locate, such as frequent relocations or name changes, our advanced service includes a deeper investigation, multiple data sources, and a more extensive review. The service also includes the formal consent request letter once the individual has been traced.
