BellesLink founder Paul Kulas shared a statistic that skip-tracers and repossession agencies likely wouldn’t refute. Kulas said 76 percent of repo assignments contain inaccurate addresses.

In light of that metric, BellesLink recently added six new databases to its skip-tracing platform, including:

— Bankruptcy

— Email Address by Name

— Email Address by Demographic

— Demographics by Phone Number

— Demographics by Address

— Vehicle Owner by VIN or Address

“Agents have a one-in-four chance of finding the skip with the address information they’re given. Using the BellesLink skip tracing platform improves those odds,” Kulas said in a blog post on the company website.

“With our new databases, BellesLink customers now have instant access to 16 types of free searches for gathering current, accurate information on skips. For repossessions, collections and investigations, customers tell us BellesLink data is as good as it gets,” he continued.

“Like successful skip-tracing, BellesLink is built on information, communication and organization,” Kulas went on to say. “To help our customers be successful, we’ve expanded our built-in Information tools with new database searches for automobile owners, bankruptcy, email and demographics.”

Kulas added that all 16 built-in databases are included with a BellesLink subscription.

“Gathering and verifying information with built-in databases, and having it flow automatically into a case manager, makes it profitable to do skip tracing on every assignment,” he said. “Gathering current, accurate information from the office, not the street, saves time, cuts down on fuel costs and increase the odds of finding the skip.”
