We have been receiving an increase in calls AGAIN from potential stalkers. It could also be the state of Michigan checking up on us to make sure we are not abusing our privileges. It is always a different person that calls and they claim they have a "judgment" against an individual and need to locate them so they can collect the money that is owed to them. When questioned about whether they have an attorney that we can submit the findings to, they always say "no". When told that they need to supply us with proof of such a judgment, they beat around the bush and claim they "haven't actually filed" yet. Then they ask "Well when you find their info cant you just give it to me?"Yea, if we wanted to lose our license and never be able to work in this field again. But, we do this type of work because we love it and well it feeds our kids and keeps a roof over our heads. Some people get down right rude when we tell them no we do not just give them a person's contact information. I never intend to offend anyone when I tell them no. But we have to protect people and you never know what a persons intentions are.
If a person is looking for a long lost love or classmate we usually tell people that we can locate them and then we will contact them on their behalf. That way if a person does not want to be contacted by the person searching for them they have the choice. Most people will be OK with this because they understand there are privacy issues etc.
So my advice to stalkers out there: Don't try to hire a private investigator to assist you in your dirty work. Most legitimate, law abiding P.I.'s will not just give you a persons information. If they say that they can or will then they you are dealing with a person who needs to loose their license.
