The no trace\no fee myth

There is a certain buzz nowadays about 'no trace, no fee' tracing agents. Unfortunately the fact is that they only uncover around twenty five percent of their targets. This also exaggerates the fee charged for when somebody is successfully located.

This is because a 'no trace, no fee' agency has to get a large amount of instructions on file and will carry out basic checks from a computer until it has amassed around the twenty five percent figure, which logically, the computer cannot clarify anyway. The fact is that you cannot effectively carry out trace enquiries unless the agent is prepared to go out into the field, knock on doors and make serious enquiries. This demands a fee per instruction but also brings the success rate up to around ninety percent.

Of course, you will still receive the same benefits from the service of the documents that you would expect once we have successfully traced the target.

Legal requirements for us to act on your behalf

When you request a repossession it must be accompanied by the legally required paperwork:
  • An Instruction to Repossess Authority
  • A copy of the 15 day Pre-Possession notice
  • A copy of the ‘Deal Sheet’
  • A copy or printout of the payment history
  • Details of NOK and/or work address (preferred)

When can we repossess goods?

When you can instruct us to repossess depends on the individual company policy and interpretation. We require an indemnity for illegal repossession (Where you may not have complied with the Repossession Act of 1997).
We can also repossess:
  • When your client has defaulted on his/her payments and payment has not been made prior to the expiration date detailed on the mandatory 15 day notice (Prepossession Notice) being sent to the last known address
  • When the vehicle or goods are not insured
  • When the vehicle is not warranted or registered
  • When your security is in jeopardy
  • Where you have reasonable cause to suspect that the goods will be on sold, destroyed, disassembled, endangered or deliberately secreted away to avoid payment/repossession
