I recently joined forces with FindMySkip.com, highly recommended by many on this site.
I was considering upgrading to the level that has access to the FCRA regulated products but I have a couple of questions that I figured some of you might be able to answer.
I know what FCRA is but other that credit bureau stuff like bankruptcies, limited bank records and other credit related items… is there any other data that as a bail bondsman and only limited reasons for fugitive recovery info… that I would need to bump my level of searches to include these regulated products.
They want to do a “site survey” report… since my office is in my home… someone is coming in and taking pictures of my office setup so they can qualify me as to security of files, computers… other stuff… that sort of concerns me but I suppose it will be ok… sooooooo, in order to qualify for their security… I am sort of compromising mine??
Keeping in mind, I am not a FRA, just a bondsman that only searches for my own skips… do ya think I need this higher level of capability?
Chris said something about expanded Criminal background checks… that would certainly be nice… so would that provide much more than I would have at the lower level? I could call and ask Chris but I was looking for some of you all to give me your take.
What I am looking for here is user info and satisfaction reports from some of you that are presently using “FindMySkip.com”
THANKS.....................

I was directed to findmyskip.com by several people, also. I was approved a few days ago and used it for the first time on three files, this morning. Each one came back with information from 2005, 2002, and 2001, respectively. At this time this is the only data search engine I have been approved for, so I have only free searches to cross reference with and they do seem to show the same information, in the same time frames. This creates a question. Are those that are using findmyskip having better results than this? Could this be current information that has the wrong dates attached to it? Any help would be appreciated.

Site Surveys:
This is standard procedure among many intel venders/brokers. They are vicariously liable for the information they sell.
Need: Any tool containing the tiniest sliver of information is always beneficial. I recently secured volumes of intel on a cold case for a current client from information contained in a police report taken in 1999. It contained information no one else has, and it is the key to breaking this 7 yr old cold case.
Intel interpretation: Accessing intel databases is 1 thing....understanding and interpretating that intel is a whole different school. I would ask the intel vender for a real time tutorial...walk you through thier whole system, feature by feature.

SnowWolf,
I have been using FindMySkip.com for awhile now. The information that we get from them has always been great information. We get all intel from 1992 to 2008 on clients using this program. We get old and current phone #'s, old and current addres, relative's address and Phone #'s of relative's. We even get great credit headers on client's. The point is, Every time I run a SS# on a client in a state it's about 98.9% accurte. I have never dislike this program, never.

OK. That is what I needed to know. The SS#s, DOBs, exact name, and one address, on each, check out with its file information. The report date is what through me, on each report. Like I said, they were from years ago. I plan to check out the info anyway, however, I wanted to know about others experience with this data before going in and accepting what I was told by the subjects I encounter....or on the other hand, trying to drag info out of someone that claims no knowledge. When the last "report date" shows in 2001 but I know the guy OWNED a house, in his name, up to mid 2006, I think (or thought) something was wrong. I am sure it is a good idea to speak to them about a real time tutorial so that I better understand thier product and how to interpret it. That is probably all I need to be able to figure out why it looks funny to me. Thank you for the responses.
Oh, and just so I don't sound foolish....the house that the one guy owned...it doesn't show up at all. So, I had to ask. Again, thanks.

SnoWolf,
Did you run a trace report on subject? I have found very helpful was that on every report (Trace Report) it gives you information on the neighbor's at every address that the subject lived at. What I do is, I call the neighbor that live the close to the subject and I ask them questions about the subject. 9 times out of ten, the nieghbors tell the info I wanted to know.
If you need any help on FindMySkip.com I would give you hand on walking you through it.

No. I hadn't tried that. I know better. I have done that before. I just ran the People Search. Thank you for the suggestion. I am just starting to use this data search so it may take some getting used to. If I have questions, I may very well call. I plan on calling findmyskip, tomarrow, using Ruffins suggestion. For now, "It is nigh-night time."

I just joined findmyskip also and need the tutorial, but I haven't been at the office long enough to make arrangements for it yet. I did run a SS# and got 2 different people that seem to be using it (interesting) but I needed to find a vehicle registration ... have not been able to do that part yet.
On the bright side, I did manage to nab both of my FTA's from Valentine's Day ... although I can't take total credit for the one since the US Marshall was involved in his apprehension, but they are both cozy in their cells again. Now if I can get my county to exonerate the bond .......
Be safe,
J.

Anyone have info related to this question? Would it be advisable to upgrade the search capabilities to include FCRA regulated products?

I thought I did answer it.....any sliver of intel......credit worthiness..money management skills...use it for c/s purpose's....as a financial institution, you asses people's ability to pay and qualify for financing just like any kind of bank...etc
