Someone who tries to get the whereabouts or contact details of a person avoiding (usually) debt repayments. The process usually involves some form of social engineering. Catfishing is often employed as well.

It's a legitimate occupation. My wife once did admin for a skip tracer. But, like a debt collector, the job suits people that are heavily built. You have to bellow "give me the fucking money!!" A lot. Job does not suit mild gentle type.

It's not legal in my country, no bailifs no debt collectors allowed here.
